I know a horse, but yesterday it took for me five minutes to remember
sparrows were the bird's name I would have liked to mention. .
It helps to make this discussion helpful to some extent that native
English speakers remind it is sometimes not so easy as you the native
expect foreign learners. It's no sarcasm at all. Really.

Don't most Internet users know enough English to be able to search for
"pictures of a horse" in English?
(According to Wikipedia (
