My logic is, it counts as a real word if it's in the dictionary. If someone took the time to recognize it, define it, and record it, it's a word with value. So, "gonna" totally counts. A made up word, like "zoogoppledoo" wouldn't.

The child prodigy thing is just a small offhand thought. :)

I covered up the religious thing cause it's not always polite to talk about religion in mixed company. Since this is Pubski and not an actual thread dedicated to the subject, I figure it'd be polite to cover it.
