Those who have put science into Indian languages have called the 
animals which do not have a spine as akaSErukams (right from the 
sinle-celled amoeba up to star fish) and those which have it as 
sakaSErukams. If studies in vernacular are promoted at least up to 
high school, all these questions would not arise. Also there will be 
less mental burden on the kids. At the same time, what justice we r 
doing to English? I have heard words as bad as "worthable", from even 
highly educated people.
