  Is there no limit to your arrogance?  Look up the word "esoterica", if
  you even own a dictionary.  Or use www.merriam-webster.com

  Maybe and even possibly true for Scheme.  By your own admission, you do
  not know Common Lisp, so even you should be able to understand that it is
  not true for Common Lisp.

  Confusing Common Lisp and Scheme is permissible /once/ in a human life.
