Please. Unless you have adopted a goat, don't call it a kid.

I hate the terms 'kid' and 'kids'.

What is wrong with 'child' and 'children'?



Definition of kid (noun): 1. informal a child or young person

I prefer 'puppy'. Perhaps for overweight kids we could start using 'calf' ?


I'm sorry, English is my second language. Could you explain the difference?


There isn't one. "Kid" can mean the young of either humans or goats. "Child" is a bit more formal, but that's about it.
