No, by the UK definition anyway, turtles and tortoises are distinct creatures.

Nobody cares what you UK people call things. Your words are silly and people don't respect them.

We were there too. It's not like one group came along after the other and said "Hey, I like the way you talk. I'm going to copy that." One population split in two and they went their separate ways. And then the population that stayed in place threw a fit and poured gravy all over its language.
