I always thought it was a word.

But there are a lot of words I don't know so there are probably some I think I know that aren't words at all. Some years ago when I moved to Mattapan, Ma I worked in Brighton, Ma and on the way to work I would see all these signs that said "Arnold Arboretum" That's all they said. There were quite a few. Finally one day I asked my girlfriend at the time "Who is this guy Arnold Arboretum?" Gave her a good laugh.

I guess if I didn't know what an arboretum was I could easily believe in words that don't exist.
