That Spinosaurus, like every single dinosaur in existence, had four legs. Regardless of whether you call it a leg, an arm or even a wing, there are four of them. You appear to be referring to limbs, which by definition could mean an arm, a leg, a flipper, etc. It would be more proper to say dinosaurs had four limbs rather than to say they had four legs because from my understanding just about every theropod in existence had two arms and two legs. Furthermore, I've never heard the front limbs of a theropod (like T. rex for example) ever be referred to as "legs".

Well, not really, birds are theropods, and they have "wings", not what we'd call "arms", even though they are arms...after all, according to Tobyv23, "whereas your arm, is something you grab"...but of course, birds don't use their arms/wings to grab. Also, that definition is wrong anyway, since we use our HANDS to grab, not our arms.

It's all very subjective, and that was the point I was trying to make. Jeez, did Toby say that in his post? I didn't fully read his post, which I admit, is my fault. Oh, and I found out that the front limbs of theropods are sometimes referred to as front legs, though this term isn't widely used from my understanding.
