Why would anyone be afraid of poisonous spiders? Do they crawl into your mouth while you are sleeping? Ah, you probably mean venomous?

Ah, you probably mean venomous?
- ClassyJacket 9y agoWhat exactly do you hope to achieve by this kind of needless pedantry? You said yourself that you understood they probably meant venomous, so it's not as if the comment wasn't clear.
- seattle_spring 9y agoI've noticed a huge uptick in pedantic comments like that on HN.
- bryanbuckley 9y agoBecause actually I did't understand until I was about to post the comment with just the first question, at which point I thought to myself OP might mean venomous! There are poisonous animals out there that you really should not eat! But for the most part people aren't afraid of eating poisonous things (it's usually too late to fear).
