Vermin (in some dialect regions, varmint[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermin#cite_note-altnamedicdef-0) or varmit) is a term applied to various animal species regarded by some as pests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pest_%28organism%29) or nuisances and especially to those associated with the carrying of disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease). Since the term is defined in relation to human activities, which species are included will vary from area to area and even person to person. The term itself derives from the Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) vermis, meaning worm, and originally had reference to the vermiform (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vermiform&action=edit&redlink=1) larvae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva) of certain insects, many of which infest foodstuffs.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermin#cite_note-1) The term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term) 'Varmint' dates as early as the first half of the 16th century (ca. 1530 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1530s)-1540s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1540s)).[3]

Welcome to 2010. Where apparently we are supposed to talk 16th century english to speak correct and proper.
