That's why I use Bicycle V1.0.

English lesson? The students must have been marking each other's assignments, that couldn't possibly be the English teacher's remarks.

I've had a few incompetent teachers over the years, but obviously a lot on the net is faked

You piqued my curiosity:
Before electricity was discovered and named, electric eels were likely referred to by indigenous names or descriptive terms based on their shocking abilities. Indigenous peoples of South America, where electric eels are found, had names for them, such as the "arimna" used by the Tupí people. Early European naturalists called them things like "torpedo fish" or "thunder fish", drawing comparisons to other animals with shocking abilities, such as electric rays (Torpedinidae).

Once scientists began studying them in the 18th century, they were given Latin names like Gymnotus electricus before being classified under Electrophorus electricus.

Don't know about English, but the ancient Greeks (Aristotle at least) called them "torpedo fish" (torpilli) which is the root for our modern word torpedo as a weapon of naval warfare.
