Yeah, that confused me a lot, I only found out that a few months ago too.

And how does Parasaurolophus mean Near-crested lizard but Saurolophus means lizard crest?

Yeah irony is the names probably should have been switched

Nope, wasn't confusing at all, IDK what is there to be confused about

No not really tbh

I haven't had that confusion. What plagued me was Tarbosaurus and Torvosaurus, since they're both T_r_osaurus names that have very similar meanings.

I never did when I found out about it, really easy to tell them apart.

One of them is near

K now i wonder how recently everyone found out about the 2 (i found out as a child while watching dinosaur king and it confused me)
