After a quick google search of 'do birds have feet' I found that almost all of the sources refer to the things on the end of birds' 'legs' as feet. It also referred to the appendages as toes.

Bisect. The root of why everybody mispronounces the word dissect. And now through ubiquitous conflation, DYE-sect has now become an acceptable pronunciation. SMH.

Yep, this is still wrong. either/or should be both/and.

I have never heard the term "Bicuspid" I have learned and always heard them called "canines"
