Wikipedia is a great place to find info... It's a pity that they don't have info enough to clear my curiosity...

This is a little example

What a failure! >:\

You spelled it wrong dude, it's not "corprophilia", it's "coprophilia".

Exactly

However, it's name is Corprophilia... And they don't have it listed there... and not even linked like "Hey! Did you mean Coprophilia?" as Google uses to do it...

Nooo, it's name is Coprophilia. Corprophilia is a misspelling

and not even linked like "Hey! Did you mean Coprophilia?" as Google uses to do it...

Even google doesn't correct the word in this case... there are 8 pages of results where the word is misspelled. If you look at dictionary.com however...

I guess my point is, don't try to cover it up when you've failed :)

Coprophilia is the more accepted spelling. Do a Google search on 'corprophilia.' You only get 386 matches, most of the ones on the first page being from blogs and whatnot. With 'coprophilia' 242,000 matches are returned, most of the first page being medically oriented sites.

That's what it seems... Thanks for point it out Maus and Okonkwo...

I love online encyclopedias... It must be because I love to read a lot...

I've found other words that are not there... I'll post them in this topic as soon as I remember them... and then I'll give an explanation of them (Just in case you don't know them)
