(#5661895) Confusion day for French speakers
Posted by rabbitoid on 20 Jan 2025 at 2:30AM
In official French, the English Penguin is called Manchot ("missing arm").
The confusion is because in French there is a word Pingouin, which for some mysterious reason refers to The bird called in English Razorbill.
Of course, in this era French is heavily contaminated by English so people tend to refer to the Antarctic birds as Pingouins which is always good for making your purists and teachers scream in fury.
