Scientific terms in every day use

I hate how scientific terms are now a part of the lexicon

I can no longer just enjoy my hobbies without being told about dopamine drops 

I cant reset my sleep pattern without being lectured about. Circadian rythems

I don't know. Why but it all puts me on edge

  • Scientific terms are merely shorthand for what can be long descriptions in lay terms. Sometimes it's a pain, but can be fun and enlightening to explore these terms, whether or not you're new to a subject. For example, I've gardened 55 years but recently started reading botany [Botany for Gardeners by RHS]. I've been delighted learning about different kinds of roots, which helps me understand some of my propagating failures. And, as an aside, it's great if you can shout out the answer if a suitable question comes up on Mastermind [the best thing about living alone is being able to 'chat' to presenters and news casters and heckle the TV Grin].
