Comment on stalagTite and stalagMite: The "t" in stalactite looks like a stalactite, hanging from the ceiling. Similarly, the "m" in stalagmite looks like a stalagmite, rising from the floor.

stroppy take: Stalactites don’t usually curve and do start out broad and grow down skinny, so really an “m” looks more like stalactites hanging from a ceiling. I’m going to have to forget I ever saw this.
