Well, around here it's considered rude to address someone as "it". Especially an accomplished musician.

Although I am notorious for calling people's infants "it", but an infant hardly could be considered a person yet...

Spiders don't like being referred to as "people". They regard it as somewhat insulting.

 I've seen a bloody funnel web once in our house.

It's better to be polite to one of those...

The ones around here are usually quite friendly. The bite of the most poisonous one feels about the same as a wasp sting. They like water, but I don't think I've never actually encountered one.



Then again our snakes are quite lame as well compared to yours...

I've heard of that.  Little beasts outside.

If they can kill spiders, they're all right.  But if they eat those spiders, then they should stay outside.  They're tainted cats.

Since when is killing animals not environmental friendly? The survival of environment is based on the circle of birth and death.

My quibble is that cat owners are sorely underrepresented in those billions.
