One strand of spaghetti is not actually called spaghetti and our heads are gone

From Prima

Do you ever get those moments in life when someone tells you something and you just can't. Like, when you actually have to sit there for a moment and process the information because it pretty much changes everything you knew to be true up until that moment?

That's exactly what happened to the entire team when we read that the singular of 'spaghetti' isn't 'spaghetti' but is in fact 'spaghetto'.

Seriously.

The Insider first reported the news after spotting a tweet by @caroramsey going viral. It expresses our sentiments exactly:

Thankfully for us, the dictionary screenshot has been retweeted over 18 thousand times, so we're not alone in not knowing this nugget of information, then.

And then came the barrage of new information that just blew our minds all over again.

It was basically like having a lesson in Italian

Of course, it's rare that you're ever going to be in a situation where you want to order a 'spaghetto' so you can probably all forget about this conversation, once you've gotten over the initial shock, and go back to your real lives.

Dismissed!
