Reply to comment by Whalebeachedman in Mexico’s Parliament endorses ban on the use of marine mammals in shows by XS4Me
I'm always confused for a few seconds each time it happens, but in some places it's apparently common to use the term "parliament" as a generic term instead of using "legislature" in English. I guess it makes sense due to most parliamentary countries using completely different terms (e.g. the Japanese Diet, the Russian Duma, etc...), but it still feels like legislature is a better catch-all.

The worst part is that the article specifically mentions that it was approved by one chamber and sent to the senate, so saying the entire congress OR parliament would be incorrect.
Damn it, /u/XS4Me, should've read the article.
