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.
- Nah. It's engagement bait, plane and simple
  
  It works too well… plain and simple.
  That missing period had better also have been intentional.
  
  But how can you be sertain?
  
  The fact that that's a thing is why I don't use the more mainstream social media. Only Lemmy.
- Its another classic case of Muphry's Law.
  
  Don't you meen Murphy's Law?
- you're*
  
  Youeu're*
  
  Lol. Wrong.
Deoxyribonucleic acid, for anyone wondering
- Dicks n ass, for anyone wondering. It’s the male version of tna.
  
  Sure that first one is plural?
- Or DRNA to anyone in the know.
  
  I get mad every time I think about it that we don't call it DRNA
- I think you mean deoxyribo and acid.
- And?
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
  
  Scientists use one to pretend the other
- Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a 'fat pointer'.
What part of deoxyribonucleic acid do you not understand?
- Dungeons nucleic Dragons
  
  This new craze they call "rock nucleic roll" is driving the country's youth wild!
  
  Oh, yeah, that's fair.
- The elven part
“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 ….
- May god shave us all.
  
  Up yours Trebek!
  
  Shave my wife, I'm goin' down for the last time!
- The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.
  Muphry's Law strikes again.
  
  Excuse me, it's Muphry's Theory. It hasn't been proven enough to be a scientific law.
  
  Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?
  I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.
  But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.
- Whoooosh
- There's no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English.
  <Subject>
  
  <adjective>
  
  <object>
  can mean the same thing as
  <subject>
  make
  <object>
  
  <adjective>
  .
  
  However, we all know she made a typo while criticising someone else's understanding of words
- That's South Africa, you can't expect that much from a 30% pass mark.
  
  South Africa is a region composed of several countries and eleven non-english languages. You're going to judge them based on a word Americans misspell??
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"
- Does sound like some kind of duo.
  Comedy duo maybe?
  Psych Hop, aka Psychedelic Hip Hop... is that even a thing?
This post permanently lowered my IQ
DNA is AND when you reverse it.
- And?
  
  Yes.
- This makes way more sense than RNA
Pretty sure it's Dinosaurs, Nucleaics & Acid.
- I thought it was the three branches of science? Dinosaurs, Nukes and Aerodynamics?
Douglas Adams' middle name was "Noel", not "and".
God safe us indeed
"Desoxyriboandnukleicacid"
My favorite part of the atom is the &uclease
- Hi, my name is Timmy Atom and this is my pet electron, &uckease.
D 'n A
(But it'd be bad satire to repeat the joke)
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.
In Canadian it's DNeh?
DnF'nA
- DFWTDNA
  (don't fuck with the dna)
Yes, just like that volatile T&T that likes to go boom.
/s
I don't know what y'all are talking about. Personally, I enjoy Tits Nucleic Ass.
Anyone else ever heard someone refer to it as "Denna"? I did once and I just let it go. I wanted to see if it catches on in the wild.
- What about denna?
Just like in TNA,, I reckon. Stay in school.
This whole time i thought it was dioxy rizzz o nuke-in-your anus
Yo Shadow Raiders was a sick show
Desoxyribo-antacid.
It's pure and there's nine of em!
