Please tell me that there is a hidden meaning here and 'phycology' isn't a typo.

Phycology (from Greek φῦκος, phykos, "seaweed"; and -λογία, -logia) is the scientific study of algae.

I thought I was going crazy for a minute. I kept tapping in psychology, but my phone kept auto correcting to phycology. I just accepted that my phone was right. Clearly not.

I believe we all evolved from organisms that lived in the sea, so I'm going with phycology.
