Thank you professor, you sure taught him!

[@notnormalyet]

lol. You literally spelled Madagascar wrong. Clearly you are an authority.

[@MsDemi69]

I am a mycologist and I pronounce fungi exactly the way he pronounced it. I have never heard Madagascar pronounced any other way. By the way, you did not spell Madagascar correctly.
