WHALES or WALES?

[AviatorTom]

When you hear someone say WAY-ELZ, what do you think of?

Whales

Wales

Josey Wales

Something Else - please tell

[NamerOfStars]

Shouldn't the second picture be something like:

and captioned "Wales"? I mean, if you're going to use a picture of dolphins for the first one...

[Subglacial]

I mean, "whale" is a paraphyletic group. Dolphins are a family of toothed whales, so it's not technically wrong.

I guess it would be more like showing a picture of Wales with the caption "United Kingdom".

[WindAtMyBack]

Depends entirely on the context. I might be slightly more likely to think of the whales in the ocean.

I went on a whale watch one off the Pacific coast when they were migrating. We saw several. Even got to see a flipper and water spout. Also got to see the guy I was with get seasick - he didn't puke, but he was fighting it.

You forgot wails.

I've been to Wales once, and the people were so friendly

You missed a trick

Lakes Wales, a small city in central Florida: many lakes, no whales.

If said correctly the two words are completely different, but Americans tend to butcher the English language.

There be whales here.

[DizzyDesii]

Definitely not the country.

[ArrowheadSW]

The very large ocean-going creatures!

I said whales but it could be WAILS too/

[Andres77]

Bilbo was Welsh, I’m sure of it!

[purplepoppy]

Yes he was, if you look at a map of middle earth it's based on south wales.

[Andres77]

@purplepoppy when I went to the UK and read all the street signs, that’s when I was convinced.

[Sparkie460]
