I'm going to have to assume that either this [link] is misreported or just plain false.

Because I have to.

Timelies all!

I grow cells to study why they move the way they do. I also buy things to use in studies.

(Most words I'd use to describe what I do are not on the list)

I help many a dog deal with their people problem.

'dogs' and 'problems' did not make it to the list.

Why are plurals less popular, I wonder?

That's the point of the exercise, though. It doesn't work if you don't do it.

It's easiest if you just use the site--it allows plurals. Just type your stuff into the text box, and edit until you don't have errors.

People take pictures of the sky using a mirror and glass pieces in space. I store them in computers so people can look at them later again and again. I make sure that the pictures are right. People learn about the sky from looking at them. This tells us stuff about space and us.

It's not that I didn't know what sarameg did, because...hey, paying attention, but I like reading it that way.

"I make sure the pictures are right" simplifies everything.

That was actually pretty easy for me. What I do-Do is so jargon filled and specific, being reductive to explain my job has become second nature. And the above isn't at all inaccurate; I make sure the data is good and accessible. Doing that is just a LOT more complicated than that statement would suggest.

eta: hah! Xpost.

I point light at people who act out stories for other people to watch. I can also use the light to help tell the story and make it pretty to watch.

I keep thinking about bangs, too.

So tomorrow morning my dad is having a procedure done on his heart. It's relatively minor (if all goes well he'll go home Fri afternoon) but still... it's his heart!

I happily pass on all the heart ~ma to aurelia's dad.

Thank you, Connie.
