#7 No isn't. There's no such word as "spaghetto" I get some people are trying to make it a real word by saying it is, but until it is officially recognized as such, it isn't
Spaghetto is "officially recognized": www.treccani.it/vocabolario/spaghetto1/
Spaghetto: (noun) def: Italian slum.
(Sentence usage): "The old Spaghetto was demolished because of widespread bedbug infestation and the absence of book stores, public libraries and VD clinics."
"Spaghetti" in plural
That's how italian language works...
Didn't think this was an issue anywhere in the world
