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.

That missing period had better also have been intentional.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Scientists use one to pretend the other

“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!!!

God save us ….

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

Muphry's Law strikes again.

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

In German it's "Desoxyribonukleinsäure". I never realized English doesn't have the "s"
