Talk:Rust

Rust is understood by most English speakers as what scientists call iron oxide. Few people are familar with the fungus.This is the dominant meaning of the term. Just because more than one thing share the same name doesn't mean that we disambiguate all the terms. --mav

as a gardener I disagree- if I'd clicked on the link from, say, comfrey expecting an article on rust the fungal disease but found an article about rust(iron oxide) I wouldn't be very pleased- they are two completely different things... quercus robur
