The thing is that the botanical definition of berries doesn't match perfectly with the everyday definition. That doesn't make the latter wrong, it just has other applications

Come up with an everyday definition for berry that includes strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries but excludes grapes, figs, and cherry tomatoes without identifying any particular fruit by name.
