En-crane or Fr-grue: who's right?
Hi everyone,
> En-crane or Fr-grue: who's right?
Of course, we cann't say who is right (between English or French people) but this is an opportunity to discuss a bit about these words.
As a French person, I noticed we had the same word for a machine and a bird: OK, what's up then?

I didn't even realize that the name "grue" was given to the machine because of its shape...

In French, "grue" is the name of a bird and a machine with a similar shape.
In English, "crane" is the name of that bird and that machine.

Re: En-crane or Fr-grue: who's right?
Now if you really want to know who is right,
![En-crane or Fr-grue: who's right? Temp598](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/18/04/43/29/temp598.png)
Is "Gruidae" closer to "Crane" or to "Grue"?
Make your own decision.
Take care

Am I wrong ?
