Not at all. ISTR, we've had people on urg confuse blackberries and
blaeberries, blackcurrants and bilberries in the past. To the
uninitiated they are all small dark juicy fruit starting with B.

It's very common for people to completely misunderstand what someone
else said (as you have demonstrated twice) , misidentify plants, or
simply call them by the wrong name. Or sometimes, on urg, they think
one word and type another. I've done that myself. Whenever someone here
does that, and one notices or suspects it, it's just polite and friendly
to check it out, as I did.

I don't have any trouble distinguishing blackcurrants and blueberries,
either plant or fruit. Neither does Pam.

It is however highly likely that some reading this group, could not
visually recognise and identify either blueberry or blackcurrant bushes
or fruit. Just as there are people who aren't familiar with the
difference between marrow and pumpkin, french and runner bean, etc.

I hope that is clear enough for you to understand now.
