I’m taking a medical writing course this semester and we read a paper about common pharmaceutical errors in communication, and a HUGE one is when pharmacists write “Take once daily” on a Spanish-speaking person’s medication bottle. It means one time in English, but eleven times in Spanish! Huge and dangerous difference there. Anyway, now “once” always makes me think of that.
Yes!
yay! this is excellent and eleveny! Happy 11/11/11!
Fun!
