Right-- it's a plant, Stevia rebaudiana. The genus is named after a Spanish botanist, Pedro Jaime Esteve (thanks, Wikipedia!).

No, it's a natural sweetener that leaves a nasty aftertaste.
Sugar substitute = not sugar = fake
Who cares about science or accuracy when you can just make up your own definitions of words. And everyone else is expected to understand that you just made up your own definition of words and they have to live with it.
Sugar substitutes are not "real" sugar. And if they aren't real, then...
Anyway, even though Stevia isn't completely made out of chemicals I'd still call it fake - as in fake sugar. Try a dictionary if the terms are too confusing for you.

In that case, honey is fake too.
While honey is 80% sugar, it does taste different and is typically used in different applications. Wouldn't add it to your coffee, huh? So yeah, it's not "real" sugar either.
