According to the Dictionary the word "Hippophobia" means fear of horses! blink

You would think that Hippophobia would be the fear of Hippos! eek!

Hippopotamus means something like River horse, so the dictionary is correct.

It's bad enough that you question the accuracy of a dictionary, but to even consider questioning what I say, let alone actually voicing, is absolutely preposterous

WindDancer
Good Ol' Webster help me so many times in English class. sad

~Air Angel~
Dear AA,

You should have listened to Darth Revan, the smart one. If you did more research before writing this letter of filth to my company, perhaps we would not be having this conversation.
