All these weird words are not real words, because they are not in common use. When was the last time you heard such words on the radio, on TV, in class? You never heard anything like that, I guess, and you wouldn't even be able to pronounce it. Next time, please post an audio clip where you pronounce those kinds of words if you want us to believe you.

Common use lol. Of course most people don't hear these words on tv, radio or class. Think about what your saying. I mean how many diseases can you think of and how many actually exist? I bet you at most can name 100 diseases which to "common people" would be considered a lot, but to a doctor would be considered chump change. There are ton of these scientific words with crazy meanings that "common people" have no idea they even exist. My guess is you won't even find them in a dictionary unless you get a dicitionary pertaining to that subject. The fact being though is just because they are not used a lot doesn't make them not English words.

Some people say it's smiles, but I say it's similes, because there's a mile and an extra 'i' between the first and last letter. Wink
