Basically, in English almost any fruit with the word "berry" in it is not a berry, but a drupe. And almost all other fruit is a berry. -- -Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
