That was cool!! I don't know why it's called African spinach because from what I recall it tastes exactly like spinach, so should it be called just spinach right?

Linguistics and taxonomy are weird areas! They are all very "fuzzy" and people tend to talk past each other haha. So to be honest, I agree with you. Why not just call it spinach? People tend to overcomplicate things too much.
I had some good (girl) friends studying linguistics at Wits! I have no idea why I am sharing this...
And yes, I agree, we overcomplicate everything, and I love it! 😁
Hahah thanks for the share! Always an interesting field. Linguists are funny people, studying alongside them makes for interesting stories.
