  Should we point out that in this context it’s ‘save’, not ‘safe’? If you’re going to correct someone’s spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

  Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.

  for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.

    I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?

      Get this. You have a structure in your brain called the “mammillary bodies”. It’s because it looks like a pair of tits.

    Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a ‘fat pointer’.

      Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.

      Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?

      I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.

      But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.

      South Africa is a region composed of several countries and eleven non-english languages. You’re going to judge them based on a word Americans misspell??
