[vorbis-dev] Offtopic: (Stupid newbie question) Xiphophorous, or XYphophorous
I was just playing with GDict, and I tried looking up Xiphophorous. The closest entry is for "Xyphophorous helleri". Why the difference in spelling? Was this on purpose? (In my opinion, Xiphophorous looks cooler than Xyphophorous).

Well, I don't know, but in Holland we used to write "cylinder" and now it's "cilider" officially, so maybe there's a psychic connection of some kind...

My guess is they typoed (or maybe found an obsolete reference).
