  • Description: The English language, George Orwell wrote, "becomes ugly and inaccurate because their thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of their language makes it easier for them to have foolish thoughts." In support of that statement, consider a recent decision by California's Third District Court of Appeal, which ruled that, under California law, bumblebees are fish. The court reached this unanimous conclusion based on the state's endangered- species law, which stipulates that "fish" means "a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals." Note the term "invertebrate." The state's Fish and Game Commission "has the authority to list an invertebrate as an endangered or threatened species," the court ruled.
