> Dysthymia is, in fact, Greek, not Latin Ack, of course! Thank you!! > homonymy […] and amphiboly were taught Yeah so maybe the issue is that it’s being taught less. Or maybe this is a symptom of having the internet combined with a huge percent of the population having some advanced schooling. There’s perhaps a lot more exposure today to technical terminology for the average person than there was hundreds or thousands of years ago. Maybe this problem isn’t new but has increased in scale. Using regular English words has advantages though, and I feel like studies in medicine, math, music, and many others that use a lot of Greek, Latin, Italian, etc. for reason of history or in some cases of high-brow convention, might be better, could ease learning and reduce confusion and miscommunication if we stopped speaking in a foreign language.
