[Dr. Eckleburg]

Not only do I speak English as a first language, I can write it, too.

Like when I responded to Junior's assertion that biologists don't use the word "devolution."

Again, in English and slowly, I'll state that until Junior or you talk to every biologist on earth you do not know that ALL biologists refrain from using the word.

I myself know several who use the word...and quite frequently. In English.

The word "all" appeared nowhere in his post. Care to try again?

And if you're as conversant in English as you claim, how exactly are you unaware of the concept of generalization?

Name them and state the fields in which they allegedly have experience.

I know people who use that word too. It puts you in some fine company.
