"There are 35 kind of dog in the dog kind."

Before you said the *kind* was *dog*. Now you are changing that to 35 *kinds*. Or are you saying that *kind* can describe EACH of the 35 AND be used to describe *dog* in general? Sorry, that type of sloppy logic doesn't cut it. The family canidae has 35 SPECIES. *Kind* is as relevant to modern biology as *humours* is to medicine. In other words, it has no scientific meaning.

will this make you happy there are 35 varieties of the dog kind. Simple enough for a layman and descriptive enough for a scientist.
