Reply to comment by emperor000 in Today I learned that poinsettias were first cultivated by the Aztecs. They were brought to America by Joel Poinsett, from who they get their English name. by Underworld_Denizen
I was gonna go line by line and respond to all your points. But ita way too much effort for me to go through to placate your desire to defend a single dumb comment you made. Your correction didn't bring either precision or clarity, and it certainly didn't clear up or point anything out at the title, these are all post script justification because your correction was incorrect lol. If America is one or two continents had nothing to do with the point he made, and has nothing to do with the contradiction in the title, it was you just going "um actually" and offering a wrong correction lol. But have a great day mate.

You should actually read what I wrote instead of acting like it is too much effort. Also maybe cut out the gaslight-ey "just post script justification" stuff. You have no place to tell me what I meant, especially if you yourself make it clear that you didn't even read it.
Finally, you saying that my comment was incorrect when "there is no wrong answer" is pretty bizarre.

It was incorrect because it was correcting someone over a statement with no correct answer. What was wrong wasn't your local Continental naming convention, but saying that his is wrong.
