Subject: still need help with evulsion/avulsion
I know the actual definitions... But there is such a subtle difference between forcibly extracting and ripping away that I can't seem to get it through my head.

Subject: The "an" before the vowel
works with other words but here it just does not. Some docs even say "an MI" and the M is not a vowel. Go figure.
