I'm still annoyed by the brontosaurus thing. My kids have never even heard of a brontosaurus. It's like the world is trying to deny my childhood. Brontosaurus was one of the Big Four. You had your Tyrannosaurus, your Brontosaurus, your Stegosaurus, and your Triceratops.

Weird that Firefox spell checking even recognizes Brontosaurus.
