What hath past postal stamp issuage to do with literacy?
The postal stamp thing was a 'look here' handwave. The real question was about thundering dinosaurs. Tyra? no...that's a politician that's going to dry-**** you. Tri-cerito? Three horns... nope...
Bronto? Ah... perhaps.
That was one of the ancient language questions I got correct.

Some famous physicist, I think it might have been Rutherford, famously said “all science is either physics or stamp collecting,” meaning, those other sciences not physics were just learning about a bunch of different unrelated facts and names, like so many stamps on a page. There are 21 amino acids and 92 elements and three types of rocks, etc.; collect them all and study them, but in any case it isn’t physics, the only “real science” (was his dismissive implication). Depending on how wide your reading has been, you will have come across them or not, and you will know how to answer most of these questions or you will not.
Nothing, but I do recall reading an article when I was little about how the "brontosaurus" meant "thunder lizard" and had been discredited, and the animal renamed. I was little, and little kids liked dinosaurs back then. I even had a little plastic brontosaurus from a Sinclair station.
