[LMB] "Spelunking is a made up term, a bastardization of Speleology"

[Stewart Dean]

Ahem.  Having had 4 years of Latin in high school, which Qualifies me as
a Master in Pedantry, I would point out that the Latin for cave is
spelunca, thus making spelunking of obvious  and valid derivation.  Of 
course, you may trump me by claiming knowledge of ancient Greek, thereby 
entitling you to Be a Gran Master of Pedantry, and say that 
spe-something is a Greek root.
But crawl if you wish.  I am peripherally involved in Morris Dance and
*there* is a community of odds and sorts that has hot debate on
distinctions without a difference.
