Location: Bastrop, Texas | No problem. It's just a minor irritant - a pet peeve. We all make mistakes once in a while. It just sounds better when it's correct. A lot of smart people sound dumb when they get real sloppy and I hate to see that happen, especially when I know they aren't stupid. |

honestly I am not even sure I had started vet school yet when the vet I mentored with pulled me aside and said, "Remember- it's not worming anymore. It's deworming!" Never forget :P
Also we don't take X-Rays. We take radiographs. X-rays go through the films to make the radiograph. |

I've also never fully understood how to correctly use affect vs effect. I always get them backwards.

Please don't remember that, it is not just that simple with those two words. Speciall effects are nouns. An affect that a person displays is a noun. If you affect someone, you influence them, hence a verb. The effect that spurs have on a horse is a verb. Very, very confusing. |

I think that is the important part there.......... "it's not anymore"....... I am pretty sure the vets even used the words "wormed" and "nerved". So it may have come from them origianally. That's the way I've heard it for years too.
So those who use "deworm" and "denerve", have you all your life heard it that way? I was wondering if it was a regional thing as well. We all knew were weren't giving worms to horses or that anyone was adding nerves to their horses. |

| It is a common shortened word. I don't look at it a misuse as much an abbreviation. Like Hi instead of Hello. Or Rope horse instead of Roping horse. Or barrel horse instead of barrel racing horse or Bute instead of Albuterol (sp). Or Ace instead of whatever the heck ace is. Is Denerving a word. My vet even says nerve. So I really think you are looking at it incorrectly. |

Ummm...you probably know this but "bute" is short for phenylbutazone...ace is short for acepromazine. |

My vet says to "worm" and has talked to me about "nerving" my mare. My dad, rest his soul, always said "its time to worm the horses" and he was a horseman his entire life. I'll keep saying worm and nerve. It annoys me more when those on the board correct folks.  |

| It's kind of like when someone asks have you been "racing" lately? Um..... I don't have race horses on the track. I would ask...... have you been running any or running barrels lately........ not racing barrels. I would never call a barrel race just a race. Sounds weird to me. It's a barrel race.
Barrel racers don't make nice rides......... (unless their horse bucks LOL).... barrel racers make nice runs.
Barrel racers are barrel racers....... not racers.........
Of course it could all be a regional thing too. I don't know. Not everyone uses the same terminology.
