Isn't a panther just a jaguar with a different coat? Or do I have that backwards?

You can find Florida Panthers in North America, though as you allude to, sightings are extremely rare (endangered species).

I would argue that a "Florida Panther" is not the same thing as a Panther. When I think of a Panther, I am thinking of a black, or leopard print large cat, found in the jungles of South America.

I don't think panther belongs in that grouping... Panthers are the same/similar to jaguars, and are larger, more vicious, and extremely illusive. Also, they aren't found in North America. Mountain Lions, Puma, Catamounts, Cougars are all the same thing, and are found in North America.

The Florida panther is tawny brown on the back and pale gray underneath. It is one of 32 Puma concolor subspecies known by many names – puma, cougar, mountain lion, painter, catamount and panther.

Did you know... groundhogs and woodchucks are the same thing? I did not.

I prefer to call them whistlepigs (which I've never heard used, but read it once and found it was the same as groundhog/woodchuck).

I knew that too, somehow. Same with mountain lion, puma, panther, and catamount, being the same animal. Rather strange, our language.

I do, actually, but I think I was older than you are when I learned it.

You win, unless there is no plane involved.

Occasionally what I do at work is tell people that the "account not found" error message means that the account was not found. Usually I tell people that they're doing it wrong (but if they're not doing it wrong, and WE'RE doing it wrong, they probably made my day). I also spend my time explaining why I should not have to speak to clients. Sometimes the techie geeks use scary words like "socket" and "network" and my eyes glaze over.
