@FreakyFwoof This is where the humongous rabbit hole that is etymology comes in. Those first bits are almost all Latin or Ancient Greek, and some of the other sylables in those words are too, so you can puzzle out where we came from. Take program, congram isn't a thing but telegram is, so's anagram, and hologram, and diagram. If we know that gram and graph/grapher are related, we can add photograph, epigraph, polygraph, it's a fun bit of linguistic lego :)
@zersiax @FreakyFwoof Etymology is fascinating.

@simon so glad I don't do such a thing, and nor do you. Move speech extras for example.
Test, test and test again. And test some more.
@FreakyFwoof @simon And if you think you've done enough testing, you haven't.
