It bears mentioning that in common usage most anglophones also mistake venom for poison, or treat it as a subset of poison and use poison as a catchall term. And for the average anglophone, the technical usage of the words won't ever be relevant except when cornered by a pedant.

Yeah poison and venom arguments are a great way to find out how insufferable people are. Child Emperor was going to eat the snake though.

Also, speaking of, poison and venom is the same word here too. Which is why I'll get it wrong every time.

I feel like poison and venom being a thing only pedants argue about depends entirely on whether or not you're from a place where knowing the difference between a poisonous and venomous animal matters or not.

I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
As I understand it, venom is poison that an animal uses when attacking another animal, and that's different from animals that are toxic (e.g. frogs).

That's a long story. You're best off googling for "Tom Preston" (this dude) and reading from the top couple of links, it'll tell you what you need to know. It's... kinda depressing really.

Be hoped so.
ONE's OPM is technically poor by any stretch when it comes to the art, but even then, there are so many parts of his art that are actually top class. The framing and everything is always top notch. MP100 and OPM show it constantly.
