Wolfgang, you're German. You're not supposed to know words like that.

Jeri, the respective German word is 'heterodox' and in 98 out of 100 cases the English word is the same (with very minor adaptations). I would fail a vocabulary test for twelve year olds or a test about colloquial English but would have a chance to pass a vocabulary test for students.
