Chatbots Don’t Know What Stuff Isn’t

Let's pretend for a second that vocabulary.com is a reasonable source to use here. It says "Most paws have claws" which does not at all imply your statement that "As long as it has claws ... it is a paw." Most is not all, and anyway, paws have claws != claws have paws.

It's clear that you either aren't a native English speaker, don't have much experience with bats, or are just trolling.

I've spent a lot of time in caves with bat experts. Nobody during that time ever referred to bats' paws and if you did they would think you were making some kind of joke.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paw

Quote:

   Paw : the foot of a quadruped (such as a lion or dog) that has claws

   broadly : the foot of an animal

You obviously sourced this already it just didn't suit your current stance so you avoided mentioning it and instead attacked the veracity of vocabulary.com.

I think among your bat friends maybe they won't call it a paw. But outside of that in other contexts (like here) it's a paw because if fits the definition of a paw in the English language according to the very official source of Merriam Webster.

Wait now you think bats are quadrupeds!? Quadruped means "four legs."

You're very right about that; my mistake. It means four feet, not four legs.
