People don’t like the (all or some of the) comics? How come?
 
(Please don’t engage in a fight over this, I’m just curious since I like them, although I stopped reading at #14)

Equestrian. The language is called Equestrian. Also, I may be wrong, but I think fore hooves are technically fingers, likewise with rear hooves and toes. Even more so with MLP ponies, who can manipulate things with them like they were hands, especially earth ponies, who by necessity do this the most.

Regarding hands: the comics and show are in English. “Lending a hand” is an English expression for what Applejack is saying in whatever language ponies speak “in-universe”. Avoiding the word like the plague is not a hard rule even in the show.
 
In fact, words derived from hand (“hand”, “handle”, “handy”, “unhand”, etc.) are said over 100 times in the show. I checked the transcripts.
 
I wouldn’t get upset about it unless Applejack said something like “I hurt my finger the other day”.

It raises an interesting question though: if horses are measured in “hands”, how are ponies measured? I mean, it has to happen. They have medical staff.

Considering that the Equestrian world has far more than just ponies as its resident sentient creatures, I think anybody is a more fair term to use for them.
 
As for Spike, although they are for all intents and purposes hands, he refers to them as claws.

You know, I’m glad Applejack didn’t repeat her mistakes From Applebuck Season and kick Twilight out without listening. That would have been ooc and lazy of the writer, so kudos.  
It honestly seems like this comic is going to try and fix the problems of the prior one, but it’s still going to suffer. At least it’s attempting to fix the problem with reason and sound logic, unlike the ‘western comic that shall not be named’.

@PonyPon  
Well, saying ‘anybody’ or ‘everybody’ wouldn’t really break the illusion or feel odd. Ponies have bodies, but it’s rather odd having them use ‘human’ terms like hand, when they have hooves. It’s kind of an oversight the series has.

Spike has one.  
But yeah, it’s unlikely that people who have one would use that expression, so they could’ve switched it to “hoof”.  
On that note, was “anyBODY” ever accidentally used? :p I bet it has.
