yeah, I remember when I used to correct everyone around me, too. The epiphany that as individuals we are all continually making at least as many mistakes as those we point out in others apparently comes a bit later in life to some.
Well done to have an experienced RN be so charged up about a breakthrough understanding.

I am no English major . Science is my forte, that is for sure! Thanks though, the comments are appreciated. Hope you enjoyed the post. I think that even with the grammatical errors, the subject was interesting. I believe that we will see more research in this area in the near future.

Sorry, looks like you’re getting hammered by English major’s here, but another correction to your post is the use of the word jest when you should have used the word gist.

If you’re going to get the jest, you’re looking for the joke. If you’re going to get the gist, you’re going to get the central idea.

This IS fascinating information, and the first I’ve seen on this issue.

Thanks for posting it.

Thank you so much for the correction, I must have overlooked the punctuation. After all , I am human as well. Thanks for catching the mistake for me and I am glad you enjoyed the post. K

Hi — enjoyed the post.

But please, please learn where apostrophes go.

an apostrophe shows possession “bill’s diabetes”
or they show contraction (”it is” –> it’s )

but they don’t just go at the end of a word near the s – “diabete’s”

the plural of cat is cats — not cat’s — that would be possession — the “the cat’s dinner was good”.

so the plural of disease is diseases, not disease’s.

Sorry for the grammar lesson, people just seem to be throwing them around at random “oh look! theres an ’s’ — let’s put an apostrophe in front of it” (the “let’s there is a contraction for “let us”).

Enjoyed the post!
