@GE "userspace" is not a single word; it is hyphenated or divided: "user-space" or "user space". Have you evidence to the contrary?

If sterones would not be called sterones, how would testosterone be called? I'd say a good -5 points, but as proven before, my logic fails in this game.

I go conform with Pitsu's opinion:
the word "sterone"is closely tied to "testo-sterone"- both words are derived from steroids.

see definiton of testosteron in TheFreeDictionary:
A steroid hormone and the most potent naturally occurring androgen that is formed by the interstitial cells of the testes,...
Sorry, Kalah, not "mucho points" für you, but -1 penalty point (according to rule 13).

You guys are joking, right? Might as well disallow apples because someone used orange already because they're both fruits...

You want to dock points from him it should be based on grammatical reasons, not chemistry or common word roots...
