TIL that the English language has two different words for pumpkins. But I'm still not sure when it's a pumpkin and when it's a squash?
Ok, according to Wikipedia:
> A pumpkin is a vernacular term for mature winter squash of species and varieties in the genus Cucurbita that has culinary and cultural significance but no agreed upon botanical or scientific meaning.
So "pumpkin" is the more widespread term (at least that's my feeling?), and it can be applied to all "squashes", but it's not scientifically correct?
