| "He's not dead, He's electroencephalographically challenged."
I just want to say....
Kerno you know that would be electrocardiographically challenged right?
EKG reads that stuff not EEG | |

| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography
the second line says "Not to be confused with Electrocardiography (ECG)"
So in english it's with a C and not with K. (though in german its with K too xP).
Did you know Kernow, that enkephalos (or latinized encephalus), means "in the head" by word? XP So the brain is what's in the head. ^^ logical, isnt it? xD | |

| EDIT:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots,_suffixes_and_prefixes
look for each of the parts of the words i showed you that EKG and EEG stand for, and you will find them in there. that's proof that I am right, and it is latin ^^ | |

| It is the same Angel. In english transcriptions you normally transcribe the kappa (κ) with c. Other languages with k. There may also be a difference with the following letter. Just like in latin, ppl in the middle ages spoke a kappa followed by i, e or ae as in Caesar. But if another vocal followed like in cat, it stays k sometimes, but not always. Like in cardial for example. καρδία is the heart. and as you can see sometimes it's with c (ECG) and sometimes with k (EKG). In german κ is always transcribed with k, but only since a few decades. before it was always latinized.
But latinizing greek words, doesnt make them latin. encephalus = enkephalos = ἐγκέφαλος. Latin = cerebrum. | |

| The problem just is, that you put new greek yodah I talk about ancient greek. In fact the correct donomination of ancient greek is "greek" and new or modern greek has to be called "new greek" or "modern greek". | |
