Should we point out that in this context it's 'save', not 'safe'? If you're going to correct someone's spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.
for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.
Is it jargon or just a different language
I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?

“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!
God save us ….
The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.

Desoxyribose & Acid
Name a more iconic duo, I'm waiting
deoxyribose & acid
In German it's "Desoxyribonukleinsäure". I never realized English doesn't have the "s"
It gets worse. Desoxyephedrine and deoxyephedrine are two completely different substances. Ones methamphetamine and the other is natural and as drugs they act very differently.

Douglas Adams' middle name was "Noel", not "and".
God safe us indeed
"Desoxyriboandnukleicacid"
I'm impressed by how much Cunningham's Law is in the comments. I can't tell if they don't get the joke, or if the joke is too deep and I'm the one missing it.
