Talk:plathelminth

Why is it spelled this way? Typo? Soap (talk) 02:26, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It reflects non-native speakers of English, for the most part, due to an inconsistency in the taxonomic nomenclature. See here for a discussion of the underlying issue. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 02:31, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * OK thank you. I had noticed shortly after I posted this that the spelling with Plat- seemed to be dominant in German, where the common name for a flatworm seems to be Plattwurm.  And thank you also for changing the entry to indicate that it's a variant rather than listing it as an entirely different word. Soap (talk) 04:05, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
