[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 200706, member: 84"] I had to LOL Marg. This is a major hang up of mine. Back in my school days I had a choir teacher who was anal about breathing correctly. Most days students would be stuck just practicing their breathing instead of singing. Taking a breath mid-word was subject to public flogging in our teacher's opinion. That and dropping the letters off the end of a word. OMG lol But to this day, I now can't stand to hear someone do it. I'm still trying to figure out something in anatomy. [B]Parastalysis[/B] has suddenly turned into [B]parastalsis[/B]. Huh? When and why did they change the spelling? I've had professors argue it was never spelled originally parastalysis! When I know it was both back when I was in hs and nurses training eons ago. I know because I had a devil of a time remembering to put the y into that word, but once I got it I never forgot it. *note* I've had 2 older professors finally admit to the original spelling* lol Now the new spelling is driving me nuts. Oh, and they've also changed how it's pronounced as well. If that's not bad enough there are human body parts being renamed left and right. And these new names are often twice as long as the originals. I'm about to pound my head into the wall. ugh! I didn't watch the debate. Once I've made up my mind I no longer pay attention to the election mumbo jumbo. lol [/QUOTE]
