Perhaps they meant "maximizes use (as opposed to waste) of available energy"?

[guppiecat]

Yeah, or "maximizes efficiency of utilization". Either way, I don't think they meant it as it was written.

It's SO easy to do this, to write the exact opposite of what you mean. It's why we all need editors.

What are the odds, I am wondering vaguely, of the two words becoming interchangeable due to misuse, as infer/imply have?

*shudders less vaguely* ... never mind. I'm giving myself chills.

I'm once again SO glad I did not have to learn English as a second language. The frog maximizes his ability to regulate energy use in order to minimize his use of energy.

Estivate, estivate! Dance to the music! Sometimes I wish I had the ability to pause life until everything felt right.

The picture of our problematic frog is very nice. Thanks for all your animal posts!
