Is ganglionous a word? I can't find it. The sentence is... - juice408


Posted: Jan 04, 2011

This (cyst) appeared ganglionous in nature.  Or should I use ganglionic, ganglial, or gangliar?

It's doctorese. Put ous, bility, lly, etc on the end of any - word and it becomes a medical term. nm

ISR Not Capitalizing First Word In Sentence.
Sep 25, 2014

Anyone else having this a lot lately?

You would think that would be one of the easier things for the ISR to do, so why is this continuing to be a problem I wonder? Just when I think the ISR is starting to get better with certain dictators and almost back to wher ...
