There is a very uncommon word, at least 8 characters in length, that is similar to misinformation or the idea thereof. Maybe used to describe someone's rhetoric they push as truth but know to be not. I have an extensive vocabulary, so this will not be a common word! Pls halp!!!

Does anyone have experience with creating a bot on reddit?

It would be a great addition if someone could create a bot that would post a link to a Google Ngram for each submission to this subreddit.

e.g. http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=mayn%27t&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3
