 SMART TALK
By Clara Dix, R.N.
SEAGULLS: An advanced student at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired pointed this one out to us, to our embarrassment. An avid birder, she referred us to the field guides. Sure enough, they’re just gulls. After all, there are no cave gulls. Seagull makes no more sense than airmoth or landllama, or car makers advertising road cars.
But then, maybe auto companies are tired of doing warrantee repairs on cars their customers have used for ocean racing. Chasing seagulls, no doubt.
