You keep using that word,” Inigo Montoya famously says in The Princess Bride, “I do not think it means what you think it means."
I have corrected two posts which featured calls for "extirpation," Merriam Webster definitions for which include "to pull out by the root" or "to remove surgically." The word I was aiming for was "extubation," or ummm well "to remove a tube."
The posts have been corrected and Tat Ergo Sum regrets the error.
