The spelling is unique, for sure. Had you gone to a quality high school,
you would have known the word was spelled Pangaea. :}

It is actually spelled both ways. You will find numerous university web
sites hich have it listed as Pangaea.

You can also find web sites where they spell it Pangaea, and find the
maps they show have it listed as Pangea.

If you go to Dictionary.com, you will see most dictionaries say it can
be spelled either way.

I checked on that. Both spellings are acceptable, although to the purest
the two have slightly different meanings when translated from Greek.

BTW.... If and when the continents drift back together again, which some
scientist claim will happen, the new continent will be called, "Pangea
Ultima".

Actually, IIRC, "Pangaea" is simply the Greek spelling of the more
contemporary "Pangea".

Pangaea is definitely the Greek spelling, and Pangea is definitely one
of the correct ways to spell the old continent.

My comment had very little to do with the spelling, s.f.b.

Sorry, I thought you said he spelled the word incorrectly. You did perk
my curiosity, what does SFB mean?

My comment was about his third-rate high school

I'm sure a cut and paster like you can find out what S.F.B. means.
