I guess the translators or the manwha artist don't know the difference. (I don't know if Korean differentiates between poisonous and venomous. )
You'd be surprised how many english speaking people don't know the difference.
yess, i’m not saying that the author didn’t know but it’s likely translators didn’t know. most of the time, it’s the english speakers that don’t know the difference unfortunately
That’s not necessarily true. These terms are essentially defining different characteristics of a substance. A poison can be corrosive as much as a corrosive substance can be nonpoisonous. They are not mutually exclusive of one another. These frogs are poisonous because they secrete substances that are dangerous. And it just so happens that the poison is corrosive as well. Maybe it’s for the sake of keeping the science simple, but yeah saying that just because it’s poison it can suddenly dissolve skin is kinda absurd, but also not impossible.
it always irks me when they say poisonous instead of corrosive or venomous poison is only harmful when ingested, venom and corrosion can happen at touch
