poisonous cobras?

G’day Boz
reading your last post about the snakes on the plane
it reported there were two poisonous cobras in the bags
you would think a news reporter would get their facts straight
cobras are not poisonous, in fact i don’t know of any poisonous snakes
they are VENEMOUS, they inject venom
poison is if you eat something or breath it in
sorry but that’s one of those pet peeves of mine
like 12 am and 12 pm, they don’t (and can’t by definition) exist

John and Barb have been having cultural exchanges over tea for nearly 10 years. Now they're going public. :)
As soon as I saw it in the report, I knew you were going to latch on to that, and yes, the reporter should know better, but sadly, I think that is the state of reporting these days.
As far as 12 am and pm, I see it written all the time!
