Misspelling your insult is bad form. You're welcome.

ameba[ uh-mee-buh ]LINK0LINK0


noun plural aˇmeˇbas, aˇmeˇbae


1. any of numerous freshwater, marine, or parasitic one-celled protozoa of the order Amoebida, characterized by a granular nucleus surrounded by a jellylike mass of cytoplasm that forms temporary extensions, or pseudopodia, by which the organism moves, engulfs food particles, and forms food vacuoles.

2. a protozoan of the genus Amoeba, inhabiting bottom vegetation of freshwater ponds and streams: used widely in laboratory studies

hmm... I think I know what country you're originally from. Hadn't seen that spelling in ages.

btw, look at #2 - Amoeba. Both are actually correct, but I tend to try to treat you as an American. Clearly I'm wrong.

America is a continent, not one country or one language so you might be right after all

I assumed he*) was an American the first time I saw his "could care less". That was before he confessed English was not his first language.

Many non-English languages spell amoeba without the o.

*) I use masculine for simplicity and based on his nick but I am in no way implying his true gender.

Ameba is just easier to type out, but the likely original word is amoeba. And just to add to the mystery: I was born in NYC
