Really? Please present your evidence for this statement.<<
I've also noticed that kids today seem acquainted with _Apatosaurus_, whereas
just ten years ago, there seemed to be much more confusion over the name. I
think, partly, it's that toys and childrens books have begun using the
correct name. Most dinosaur-oriented kids even seem to know the "two heads"
story.
