I randomly clicked on a new OT story, The Original. I skim down and note the professor is called Yew.

Yew? I think. That's unusual. Wonderful.

Then I realize Professor Yew is basically a fancy version of Professor Pine. It's a coniferous tree name that can refer to a specific tree, a number of related tree species, or a number of families.

Why do you mock me, fanfiction gods?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, it's not technically wrong, just vexing.
