joml88 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Imagine if they put this on the spelling be... Can anyone even pronounce this word? I mean really it would be pretty cool to memorize but it would take a while to do so. Its kind of like memorizing pi cool but ultimately useless. Challenge: Use this word in a daily conversation!!!

Stop being such a gullible ponce. That so-called "word" is just a bunch of butchered Anglo-Latin and Anglo-Greek transitionals that are bolted together in a way that makes no sense. A cursory glance reveals the following: ORNI - pertaining to winged flight BIBLIO - pertaining to books PSYCHO - of the mind METERO - of or pertaining to the atmosphere AUSTRO - Austro-Asiatic, from the Latin auster (south) HIERO - sacred or holy, pertaining to hierology, from the Greek hieros (holy) ANTHROPO - pertaining to anthropometry, humanity ICHTHYO - of fish, from the Greek ikhthuo (fish) PYRO - pertaining to fire ...and so on. Also I note a couple of duplications in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
