an inquiring mind...
What would you do if...

... you were minding your own business typing at 4 o'clock in the morning, and some guy you never even met before whispers in your ear, "adenotonsillitis." Now, you know that this a word that technically makes no sense, but you go ahead and google it just to see what happens, and you find that the word is found on a number of respectable web sites. What would you do?

Not that it's ever happened to me. I just wondering. :-)

I would think his adenoids and tonsils were inflammed -

and wonder if he might need an adenotonsillectomy in the future. :)

I would think exactly that same thing! (nm)
Aha! But, what would you type? (nm)

There is an adenotonsillectomy so doctor probably just changed the word ending.
