Deoxyriboanducleic acid, according to Shadow Radar.

Or DRNA so anyone in the know.
Artyom@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I get mad every time I think about it that we don’t call it DRNA

I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.

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’.

Is it jargon or just a different language

I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?
dingus@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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’.

“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!

The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.

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.

There’s no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English. <Subject> <adjective> <object> can mean the same thing as <subject> make <object> <adjective>.

Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 months ago
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??

In German it’s “Desoxyribonukleinsäure”. I never realized English doesn’t have the “s”

I’m impressed by how much Cunningham’s Law is in the comments. I can’t tell if they don’t get the joke, or if the joke is too deep and I’m the one missing it.

Today I learned :
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningha…
Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”

Anyone else ever heard someone refer to it as “Denna”? I did once and I just let it go. I wanted to see if it catches on in the wild.

D&A stands for “Drug & Alcohol Evaluation” as in “Came in for D&A per PO”

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.
