The question about the pear got me, because there were two equally silly answers to the question, and I took the least silly choice.
As to whether or not ‘dweeb’ is a word…the important qualifier in the question was “common”. ‘Dweeb’ is a slang word, and is only really common among a small portion of English speakers. ‘Dweamor’ is ALSO an English word that begins with ‘dw’, but, isn’t common enough to qualify as a correct answer. Heck, it’s so uncommon that your spellchecker doesn’t even recognize it as a word….
