Hola CMcdon0923, "fake" is just used an adjective in English, no harm done by the original poster. A false positive isn't a negative you know, and the converse. It doesn't say the not not a meteorite, that's an adverb I think but English is so cool as a language if you understand it from context clearly there is no need to find fake faults with it:)
