<strong>of</strong> these are misspelled in modern terms because they have been historically spelled as such. Common<br />
<strong>names</strong> originating from aboriginal languages <strong>of</strong>ten are spelled phonetically <strong>and</strong> therefore crudely - I’d be<br />
quite willing to correct these - if anyone would like to e-mail the corrections to me.<br />
WARNING: A few historical <strong>common</strong> <strong>names</strong> are <strong>of</strong>fensive – <strong>and</strong> I include myself as getting <strong>of</strong>fended by<br />
some <strong>of</strong> them as a few are blatantly racist <strong>and</strong> ugly. I still kept them. Why? However <strong>of</strong>fensive, historical<br />
<strong>common</strong> <strong>names</strong> are kept here because they may be useful in trying to identify species that are so<br />
designated in older documents. I despise certain <strong>common</strong> <strong>names</strong>, I do not endorse or use these <strong>names</strong><br />
myself, <strong>and</strong> I did not create these <strong>names</strong>. I therefore accept no responsibility if anyone besides me is<br />
<strong>of</strong>fended by <strong>common</strong> <strong>names</strong> <strong>and</strong> users <strong>of</strong> this file will have to do so at the risk <strong>of</strong> personal <strong>of</strong>fense. That it is<br />
the problem <strong>of</strong> history <strong>and</strong> legacy – I’d rather explicate the stupidity <strong>and</strong> expose it rather than pretend it<br />
never existed.<br />
