I get mad at people who think sons of first-cousins are second-cousins all the time -- and, frankly, almost everyone I know think this way.

I'm glad you linked to this Wikipedia article that proves I'm not mad into thinking there is a simple logic pattern that can be applied to cousinship.

However, this "once removed" notation is crazy. Why not second-uncle for parents of second-cousins and so on?
