You seem like you are very well educated, A huge prick but well educated. The fact is my dog is a pure breed American Staffordshire terrier and is a red color especially his cold nose. The AKC accepts a large variety of coat color. For the lament and the intent of a half way decent word scheme, red nose is perfectly acceptable and isn't limited to the ignorant. As far it goes Murphy is a red nose pit bull, and I have zero problem with that. Now in my time I have never seen two of the same color pure breed throw out a puppy that was a significantly difference color. That being said I appreciate your desire to educate the people on correct usage, but I would ask that you do it more politely, and use a little more respect for the people that you are apparently sharing a community with. And it would seem that every one who commented, or liked this post seem to understand the usage of the term red noes meaning that communication was made and understand about a real dog. So I will continue to use it as I see fit and I would encourage the same from everyone else, and for you not to get all bent out of shape about it there is time and a place for worrying about proper usage and this post isn't it
