Apologies if I come across as awkward in some threads with you Ed - you do prompt some great debates!

Oh, jaysus, no! I just hope you're going away educated. 
Apart from Andrews geese, most species named after people take an apostrophe and are therefore indistinguishable from the possessive, surely? Humboldt penguins, Humboldt squid and Wedell seals are exceptions, but possibly they're named for geography.

I think the seal is named after the Wedell sea, but then that's probably named after someone too.

Yes. S'what I meant. And possibly the squid and penguins are named for the current.
But the geese are an exception, aren't they?

I don't even know if there's such a thing as an Andrews Goose. I may have invented it for illustratory purposes.

Can you rumble something that's not intended to be deceptive?
