my statement doesnt only apply to you, it applies to everyone. your posts are just the most frequent and the ones filled with the most obvious bullsh!t.



posting stuff isnt weird or cool when its a lie, durp.



there is plenty or weird/cool "shit that is perfectly true. GO FIND IT



and linking a page of say 'top 100 weird and cool shit thats true' would be better than you making 100 retarded posts for each scrap of info.



try harder bro, maybe start another thread to boost your post count?

the meaning of the thread is to teach people fun little facts. lying does the opposite by making people look like retarded jackasses if they believe you blindly and then repeat it irl or anywhere for that matter. SO you are in fact going against your own thread by spreading lies.



yes, i know this is the tavern. that does not mean you can just lie & mislead at will b/c you want a higher post count.



i will continue to edit your asinine posts b/c you are not willing to do research or at least post sources. i will correct you when wrong to help everyone in the TI community from believing your lies.

if they arent in the dictionary....how can they be defined as real words, they're just slang words. thats like saying mgurk is a real word b/c it has regional use.

sporange is:

"n.

1. In botany, the case or sac in plants in which the spores, which are equivalent to the seeds of flowering plants, are produced or carried. Also sporangium." (from a botany website).

sporange when pronounced correctly does not rhyme with orange, you dont say sp-orange you say spor-Ange is in spor-Angium.



"Neither of the two pronunciations of SPORANGE in Webster's Third New International Dictionary would qualify as a rhyme"

"(The ending sounds of sporange and orange are similar, but not identical.)"

from Does Sporange rhyme with Orange?
