What is considered term pregnancy? [2008-02-25]
Subject: What is considered term pregnancy? I have a dictator that said, The child was born at term. Mom was 24 weeks' gestation. I always thought term was somewhere around 36+ weeks.

Because AP, lateral and oblique are singular then it is "was", if it was laterals and obliques [2008-01-03]
Subject: Because AP, lateral and oblique are singular then it is "was", if it was laterals and obliques (plural) then it would be "were"... With words that indicate portions—percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so forth —look at the noun in your of phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.

Found this "cute" example for "was laid down" -- sm [2007-02-07]
Subject: Found this "cute" example for "was laid down" -- sm Couldn't resist posting the following found on a grammar Q&A site. (If I read below correctly -- after I quit laughing!!! -- then in your example the patient is the direct object.)
by gradyplayer on 1/20/07
I am always wondering about the past participle tense of the vulgar form, have I been lain?
by Larabees on 1/20/07
I'm pretty sure that you would have been laid. You would have been the direct object. That is, someone did it to you (i.e., laid you). Going back to the example given in the podcast: It's pretty easy, you lay something down, people lie down by themselves... So, someone laid you, you didn't lay yourself (I think).

Medical Terminology [2008-04-09]
Subject: Medical Terminology With no disrespect, you were taught incorrectly or misunderstood. ANY combining form cannot be put with anything to make a medical word. Let your dictionary be your friend. You will not find this word in a medical dictionary. Docs make up words all of the time; it is our job to use the correct terminology.
Medical Terminology often uses words created using prefixes and suffixes in Latin and Ancient Greek. In medicine, their meanings, and their etymology. Prefixes and suffixes, primarily in Greek -- but also in Latin, have a droppable -o-. Medical roots generally go together according to language: Greek prefixes go with Greek suffixes and Latin Prefixes with Latin Suffixes. Although it is technically considered acceptable to create hybrid words, it is strongly preferred not to mix different lingual roots.
