LOL I know it's coming from me but hey! You asked!



xenophobia
noun [U]
extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc.


Is this convincing?

C'mon Cookstar,

you should know by now that ScoobyNet is THE chief spelling-bee of the Internet
Webmaster should put sticky about the penalties of incorrect spelling

My my, this place is getting more and more vicious every day!!!

Me? I couldn't care less, as there's more to life than mis-spelling

Where?????? the text ("not gonna help the original poster when he can't even spell the word that he'd want to look up") doesn't appear there anywhere.

Regardless, I KNOW it was NOT copied/pasted as I typed it out on this very keyboard.

next.
