Know the difference between the Jaguar, the Leopard and the Cheetah

I've noticed that these three big beautiful cats confuse a lot of people. So, I'm going to try and describe them the best possible way ever.
The Cheetah shouldn't be in this list because they can be easily spotted. Cheetahs are Tall, Slender and have black tear-like streaks on their faces. That's enough to spot them out. Unlike the Cheetah that has spots, the Leopard and the Jaguar have Rosette patterns on their skins. So let's look at this slightly complex case - The Leopard and the Jaguar.
The two don't have the tear-like streaks on the Cheetah. The Jaguar is bigger than the Leopard, shorter tail and most importantly, the Jaguar has Spots in his rosette patterns.
Is this simple enough?
