Even worse, we make some up. Barring coincidence, "statosphere" is a
neologism.
There's bonus big word for you.
The continuing inability of people to perceive "statosphere" instead of
seeing "stratosphere" is pleasantly amusing. The ability of an idea to cloak
itself within another idea and not be noticed makes me...uh...ecstatic.
