[@philcourteney4328]

Dude, that must've took some time, to come up with that rhyme! The lyrical verbosity arouses curiosity from those without medicality infused within their learningisity! The profession you're akin to holds a cohort within whom Latin is just a pattern of vernacular specificity, as opposed to those for whom "like" is an arbitrary addition, like when like you can't like find the right word for the term for like what you'd like to discern and discover for your brother or other person in your peer group. I am amongst the hoi polloi who discover and enjoy the articulate and accurate usage of the verbiage or the attractive annunciation of the vocabulary on occasion that passes by the labia of those of a medical persuasion. It's like, proper good innit? You know exactly what and where thems types be talking about! But when the English language is adapted and achanged to nonconforming parlance from the rules and guidance that we were all once taught, be it "bruvva" "gunna" or "thot" it's a chance to parlance in the modern terminology who's history and etymology and be traced linguistically to perhaps somewhere in italy, who famously historically make really damn good coffee. I'm betting you have a source of decent Espresso in your life, no?

Fabulous. I can imagine this was an awful lot of work, well done. I find the more time you spend with these terms the more you absorb unknowingly.
