Cow Code in 5 Minutes

I'll consider myself corrected.

Its an extremely common misinterpretation. Cows having four stomachs has almost become a colloquialism due to how common the misconception is.

Perhaps the term "polygastric" adds to the problem. As the grandson of a dairy farmer and a former wildlife biology major who has butchered quite a number of steers and deer, I'm familiar with the anatomy. Both my family and my professors back in the ancient times referred to the four chambers of the complex ruminant stomach as the four stomachs. I'm glad to have it clarified. It will give me something new to ruminate on. I draw the line at chewing a cud, though!

I agree theres lots of reasons its become so misinterpreted.
I see what you did there.

Because the cow dialect contains less characters, necessitating a duplication when translating. P is also the same. Having two stomachs requires that they spend less time studying phonics.

What's much more important than how many stomachs a cow has is that the above is grammatically incorrect -- things that are enumerable uses "fewer", e.g. I have fewer tanks than I need; things that are quantifiable use "less", e.g. I have less air in my tanks than I need.

You're welcome.

I guess P would be an easy as Poo

Oh, oops! It was actually an extra "s" causing the issue. It should have read "contains less character", since, really, cow language just does not have that much character, "less" even. Thanks for highlighting my need to review my posts! You ROCK, or are a rock? Or really like wet rocks?

I like Shirley's educated, enlightened answer.
(Also, thanks again for sending me the mag hard copy!)
I was able to easily "sign" the Cow Springs diving waiver too yesterday. Now I just have to get my EF high enough again to cave dive...

Yay, you are so welcome!
