"since you use slang, and don't know how to tell if she's pregnant, you should get her SPAYED as quickly as possible... you do NOT know enough about canine pregnancy to use proper terminology and you SHOULD not allow her to breed. In fact, since you're really so lacking in knowledge, it would be irresponsible to allow her to breed."
(If you are the writer of the above - I don't mean to have a go at you, I'm using this as an example - I'm sure your a good person most of the time, we all have our bad days - mine happens to be today)
Why do many people believe that if you can't say things in a scientific way you don't know what your going on about?
e.g. I know a bit about gardening but i couldn't tell you what to do to a plant scientifically.
My ' friend' over heard me instructing another friend and ridiculed me for my choice of language, they then tried to instruct my friend on what to do - the friend listened to her and failed, next lesson the friend followed my advice, and passed.
