I am interested in knowing if the new ICZN has succumbed to Webster's
spelling of "binomial". I have always preferred "binominal" which the
old ICZN uses, since I can't see dropping the final "n" in "nomen" in
order to make the adjective. But then, why change the "e" to "i" in
either case. Oh, to be more educated !
