What exactly did I misspell?

I didn't mean learn to spell in a sense that you mispelt something but in a sense you only completely spelt 1 word except for the fact it is to not 2.

It's weird, sure. Not exactly 'really fucked up'.

The word hippopotamus comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse," so it's not that weird.

Hippo means horse. Hippopotomus (however you spell it) just means river horse. So no, there's nothing fucked up about the fear of horses being hippophobia. Unless you're saying it's fucked up how there's a fear of horses. Which isn't fucked up either cause horses can be pretty scary. So either way, I don't agree with this post. I'm just gonna stop talking because I'm confusing myself.

Or.. or.. maybe.. If they're afraid of horses, they don't want to cause that person to hyperventilate or some shit when being told they have horsephobia? Or it could be that river horse thing up there, too, that sounds legit.
