You know I've often wondered why we use a dead language for science and medicine. To me it just makes it inaccessible to the average person to understand and becomes an elitist field. This makes sense to streamline the process as well. Now if we could all be on the same measurement system. But that would mean the U.S. adopting the metric system and we have resisted that for years mainly due to the vast infrastructure that we would have to update in order to switch.
Well, we can always just translate everything AFTER publication. That's not so hard. I don't see why this is supposed to mean intellectually or culturally giving anything up.
"Well ya see, our current science grads aren't really equipped with skills like the common language of science. So here's my proposal: how about we just start calling flowers 'flowers' & taters 'taters' so we can just slip these kids into the workplace without all the hassles of qualification & standardization? I sure am tired of telling these kids they can't have a job until they understand the work."
The botanists need to get with the librarians on this dilemma . . . here is a natural love-affair -- all books are printed on paper which comes from trees, which are within the domain of the botanist's knowledge, plus botany is ideally suited for generating reams of plant-names which require cataloging by the librarians . . . .work-together folks -- now that we have computer-technology, this prospect is achievable

Bad idea.The best thing you can do to maintain the fidelity of this kind of information is to use a language that is not commonly and used and that can not be commonly abused, unlike English.

Anteaters, mudskippers, yellow bellied sapsuckers, etc. Yeah? So what? What do they do?
Tell me what they do when you're drunk.
The platypus is an insect? WTF? Tell that to an Australian.
It's really a 'duckbilled' platypus. So it's a duckbilled insect. Tell that to the rest of the world.
They say the camel was designed by a committee. The platypus (duckbilled) was designed by a committee on something.
Monotremes are fascinating. Echidya not. (Joke ref: Echidna - aka Spiny anteater).

Save the boa constrictor!
That's it's common name. Forgive me, but I don't know it's latin name.
Are there any examples where the latin name is the common name?
Ding dong. Who could that be? Must be my aunt, Vera.
Excuse me while I go and say hello.

There were too many phonies prattling away in Latin anyway.

Seriously? English is just a bastardized form of Latin and Greek. Learn Latin and you will understand English on a much higher level.
