"On the whole of the web, antogyny only gets one hit, and it's Berman's piece. The word does not, of course, exist. Berman heard Fields talking about ontogeny, but didn't know the word, so he apparently guessed which lexigram button to hit. He guessed he was hearing anto- as in antonymy and -gyny as in misogyny. A sort of learned eggcorn. But further clear evidence that Berman didn't know what he was seeing or hearing, and had no ability to understand what someone had sent him to cover. It looks like the fire season and the silly season are both going to be bad ones this year."<a class="user" href="http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004558.html">http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004558.html</a>

I saw a film on bonobos in my science class. I learned that they have a ton of sex... I also learned that males sometimes fight with their penis.

Yeah, one of thousands. And all the religious people have are their one book. How sad.
