What are three reasons why scientists should not use common names for classification?

Reasons:





Using Latin means the name use will be universal (otherwise you'd have to translate the common name into many different languages).


Different countries (and different regions within countries) have different common names for the same organism (and the same common name for different organisms).


Since the scientific name (or "binomial nomenclature") uses the genus and species, it allows a simple description of the organism's evolutionary classification and likely appearance. For example, if you know that Rattus rattus is the brown rat, you can easily deduce that Rattus norweigicus is also a species of rat, even if you've never seen it.


The full scientific name can include not just the genus and species, but also the kingdom, phylum, class, etc. - giving a more detailed description of the organism.

Many use a common base language such as Latin.
Reply:I know one reason is that scientific names are recognized internationally.
