1. I think you spelled it wrong
Shouldn't there be a delta in that Greek word for "tendon"?

(Tenontas -> Tendontas/Tendontes -- ?)

--d!
Yazoo, baby, yazoo!

Yes, it's a Grammar Nazi K & R.

13. He called it "That stringy fucking thing in back of my ankle."
I heard him say that many times personally.
