It is NOT a true fact. The FACT is that the Earth rotates. Just because someone wants to BELIEVE the sun rises and sets does NOT make it a fact.
I've been fortunate enough to have lived on the East coast of the US as well as the West coast of the US and it is a fact that I have seen the sun rise in the East and set in the West.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
