Not so fast. Goomba (if that is his real name) would be correct except
for one troublesome fact: linguini, ravioli, and macaroni all
originated in Italy, while spaghetti noodles is an Americanized type
of Italian pasta that has always been referred to as "spaghetti
noodles." The development of spaghetti noodles is similar to that of
chow mein, a "Chinese" dish that originated in San Francisco,
California.

Some people's computers do it automatically, you know (cut out the
original post, that is).
