So I win.

Spunk you don't want to start this. You will lose.
Utopia is vernacular for perfect world based on Thomas More's book. The name Utopia was chosen by Tom More because he wanted to make an ironic statement about how the world cannot be perfect.

nope
As I am well aware.
However, it hasn't truly been used to only mean "an imaginary place" since 1516. Since then, thanks to Sir Thomas More, the meaning has evolved and extended to mean a socially and politically ideal place. Hell, nowadays it's even used as a meaning of eutopia, when "eutopia" is even recognized as a word, seeing as it is now ancient and hardly used.
However, between "utopia" and "eutopia", I have the correct spelling. So I win.

Both are real words.
Eutopia just literally means what utopia means vernacularly.
