A mass e-mail sent to all students in my Ecology and Evolution class from Professor Estes:
"Please everyone, 'species' is a noun. Its plural and singular forms are identical--thus, one species and two hundred species. One species may split to form two different species.
'Specie' is not the singular form of species! Specie is a term for money in the form of coins."
Please, someone, tell me how ANYONE got to this point at the university level by saying "one specie."
