Im sorry that you are so easily offended. When you see that kind of defensiveness, it is usually because of tremendous insecurity and immaturity. However, your opinion is just that, and the "plant people decided to use it" because it is grammatically and scientifically correct.The term is much older than the plant people's usage of it and they use it because it is what science usess. It is the correct term and has been for a long time, so what you might want to do, mr onion_gizzards, is actually try reading something. And BTW, do you own this board? Did I need your permission to post? You say I just "jumped on here" and made a statement, yeah, well that's because it is a message board, where any members can post, so until you buy kingsnake.com, get used to it. I may not be here much, but I have every right to point out that you dont have a clue what you are talking about, and masybe the term sounds stupid to you because you dont have a clue what you are talking about. Go look up the term. It is a real term. Hybrid breeder is also applicable, but hybridizer is the proper term, when looking for a one word term and it is used extensively in science and many other fields. The propblem with little myopic people like you is that you dont know what your talking about, so you assign assinnine value judgements like "it sounds stupid", when the ignorance is yours, not a problem with the term. You are entitled to your opinion, but your opinion does not hold water and the difference between your "opinion" and mine is that mine is educated and yours is a product of your own myopy and lack of knowledge (obviously of grammer, the english language and the use of terminology in science). Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Aggressive ignorance is a defensive mechanism that would rather attack and argue than to educate itself.So in the fufutyou might want to eduacte yourself before you attack someone who is educated.
