* 1999 , Jessica R. Shawl, ' "Vegetarians"??? ', rec.food.veg, Usenet :
- I'm curious what you do when you encounter a friend, family member, whoever who claims to be a "vegetarian who eats fish". It *really* bothers me when this happens because it contributes to the assumption that I eat fish and I don't, because I am a vegetarian. I feel like it gives all vegetarians a bad name.
- Do you correct them? Do you not bother? And how do you correct them? I was thinking that saying something like "oh, you mean your(SIC) a pescetarian " would be ok and give them the appropriate term. Speaking of which, how is "pescetarian" pronounced?
