Yes Gavin you are correct. People are just trying to explain that sometimes cinny pastels are just cinnys.
Here's my attempt
Apparently back in the day pastel was tacked on to the end of every morph for some god forsaken reason. Some people still call plain ol' cinnamons, cinnamon pastels, while the rest of us-who aren't stuck in the 90s-call them cinnamons, and cinnamon pastels, pewters.
It's very confusing, but some people will sell cinnamon pastels (cinnys) online, they aren't scamers, they just aren't with the times.
