>>I was feeling left out of all the great arguments going on in here. Don't take it too seriously, I'm not. Besides, I replied to the thread-starter post, not yours.

>>On the other hand if you think you're right go after the proofs and show me...
>>
>>If You Google HOGG Island, you do get a zillion references to recent web articles where HOGG was (incorrectly) used in lieu of Hog in describing Boa from those little Cays just east of La Ceiba, Honduras.. but not to Cayos los Cochinos.
>>
>>Myself, I searched three major map databases available from the IPL (internet Public Library) and could find no map reference to those cays spelled with two Gs.. now anybody can photoshop a map and spell Hog anyway they like. I'm going with the IPL..
>>
>>There are references to many Islands named Hogg, but not in Honduras. It's an old family name (there's a Jim Hogg county in Texas, great place to look for Mexican HOGnose snakes.). In grade school here we used to refer to the family as IMA Hogg, URA Hogg, SHEESA Hogg and so-on. But we didn't learn about HOGG Island, Honduras. (the other either, to be fair).
>>
>>It would all be entirely a joke or just a topic for discussion except for the fact that HOGG carries a meaning other than a spelling game.. it has been and is being used as a handle for intergrade products IE: Hypo-Hogg.. so, a distinction has to be made..
>>
>>Again, in my opinion.

>>Have fun, be safe.
