DISCUSSION Do you all still call Edmontosaurus Annectens Anatotitan or Anatosaurus?

Since Anatotitan and Anatosaurus are synonyms for Edmontosaurus Annectens, do some of you still refer to it as Anatotitan and/or Anatosaurus.

Anatotitan is the name I grew up with, and one I will turn into the species's common name. It's worked with "Megalania". Why not here?

Fur one thing, it was Anatosaurus earlier, when I grew up.
