And you consider this a solution??
Sorry, dejayM - I was talking to Cassine …
OF COURSE IT IS A BUG!!! Not a an electronic one, but a design one!!! That is simply ridiculous.
The search for Gymno bux should find:
Gymnosporia buxifolia
Gymnosporia buxifolia var glomeruliflora (synonym of Gymnosporia buxifolia)
and nothing more!!
That list is an abomination!
I think the old iSpot list was better Cassine: it said:
Gymnosporia buxifolia
Gymnosporia buxifolia var glomeruliflora
Now which to a novice is the more confusing?
Especially seen that if you select the latter, the iSpot dictionary automatically connects it to the former as it is a synonym! (that still works)
Of course it will get worse with more common names and more synonyms. Remember is South Africa we have only captured 2 of our languages: we still have to add the common names for the other 9 official languages.
There are elegant solutions that will make these problems vanish. The programmers merely have to speak to the experts to resolve it instead of coming up with cranky half solutions in isolation!
