Three separate people called my venus flytrap a 'carnivorous plant' and I snapped

I grow a bog garden in Portland and keep Dionaea muscipula in a 15 gallon tub, but every visitor calls it that. It's not a generic term, they say 'oh cool, carnivorous plant' like sundews and pitcher plants don't exist. The trap is just the leaf, and mislabeling the whole species kills the nuance of how each one hunts. Anyone else tired of correcting well-meaning friends at garden tours?
