    of course, animal geeks are obviously so well educated - the standard of grammar and diction on zoo chat is your proof alone! :D

    After half an hour of playing this game I wouldn't be able to say it, never mind what it means :p

    And the pronunciation is not what you'd expect. It's similar to hyperbole. You've gotta love English.

    Really? I spent most of my life saying it super (like super) - lative (like native). It's one of those words that you read a lot but never really hear out loud.

    At our school basketball games in the student section they pass around a bottle of syrup and if they make a three point shot you have to chug maple syrup.
