ONE diagnosis, TWO OR MORE diagnoses. There is no such word as "diagnosises".
It's a treatment or drug REGIMEN, not REGIME.
And please stop adding r's at the end of words that don't have them. I forgive you the r's that you drop in the middle of words, you're from Boston and can't help it.
My OCD thanks you.

Sorry, kid. That's the lesser known part of a true Boston accent. Someone with a really thick accent will add an "R" to the end of words with a vowel. Listen to an old recording of JFK sometime and hear how he says "Cuba" ("Cuber"). Comes with the territory, unfortunately.
The other things he should be ashamed of, though. Wow.
What Suldog said...
JFK with 'Cuber' and 'chowda'.
Don't even get me started on 'Belina' for Berliner.
"Ich bin ein Belina!"
(I am a jelly donut!)

Yeah, Sully...it's sad. She's a GREAT nurse and a wonderful educator, but those things just bug the shit out of me.
Hey, GFA!!! "Belina" is pretty close to the way Berliners pronounce it, lol. And it's NOT a jelly donut!! (That would be "Pfannkuchen"...at least to folks who live in Berlin...) :D
Heh. I LURVE people with OCD. Makes me feel less alone. ;-)
Buck, we are LEGION. And we are mighty.
So, what IS a belina?
gfa
I know it's not a native of Berlin.(?)
If we ever meet in meatspace, I'll say "Berliner" for you, which does mean a native of Berlin, and you'll hear how it sounds very much like "Belina". The r's are very much softened in the Berlin dialect.
I've never understood that
"JFK with 'Cuber' and 'chowda'"
Chowder has an r and it gets dropped, Cuba had no r and it gets added. WTF?!?
Is there a finite quantity of r's so since they've been dropped from other words they have to be added where they didn't previously exist?
That would be wunderbar!
:-)

Jennifer,
That extra 'r' happens with a British South African accent, too - Peter is from "South Afriker."
Maybe that's where most of the extra R's went...
