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.

[-] Vent@lemm.ee 194 points 2 years ago

Nah. It's engagement bait, plane and simple

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

It works too well… plain and simple.

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’.

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 17 points 2 years ago

Is it jargon or just a different language

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.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago

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

Desoxyribose & Acid

Name a more iconic duo, I'm waiting

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago
[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It gets worse. Desoxyephedrine and deoxyephedrine are two completely different substances. Ones methamphetamine and the other is natural and as drugs they act very differently.

(But it'd be bad satire to repeat the joke)

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

In Canadian it's DNeh?
