fallacious:

1. Containing or based on a fallacy: a fallacious assumption.
2. Tending to mislead; deceptive: fallacious testimony.

The only other word that could be taken as mispelled is "passed", but its not. that 'fallacious' evokes phallus, and 'passed' past are phonetic allusions. i must say, i'm glad they worked.

p.s. "decaythode" is probably wrong, but i can't seem to find an example of its correct spelling. I would think its the word 'cathode' with 'de' in front of it, but i seem to remember being suprised by its spelling the last time i read it so i threw the 'y' in for good measure.

also, "seareach" is, as far as i can tell, a idiomatic colloquialism(wtf?) that's generally used as a place name, but is also used to describe the extent of fresh water and/or silt from a river as it empties into the sea.
