The other day I heard some use the phrase "fictional and factional". I had to do a double-take. While "factional is a word, it is not the opposite of "fictional". That word is "factual". I'm still not sure if it was simply a slip-up or if he actually thought that was correct.

I think the statement 'every fact is true' is a tautology. By definition, a fact is true. Now whether or not some item being classified as a fact is an accurate classification might make for a good discussion in Squaring The Circle (Forum1229)

Good Luck
