Location: Bastrop, Texas | Maybe someone can explain this to me. Why is it that horse people insist on saying the opposite from what's intended? Is it hard to understand? What's wrong with saying it correctly? Is it just a bad habit?
Ok.....I'm done now. Carry on. |

Location: Exactly where I am supposed to be | You mean we should say "Deworming" and "Denerving" ??? LOL Sorry Scott guilty as charged !!! 
ETA: I think its just an OLLLLLLD bad habit, its just something horse people say. We aren't all as smart and well spoken as some.

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. |
