BTW, the title comes from an occurence in China, when Coca Cola was firs introduced. Sellers tried to come up with a Chinese name phonetically similar to "Coca Cola"..they did, and it also just happened to mean "Biting the wax tadpole"..I think all of the contributors to this thread would find the book worth reading.   Hank On Jun 23, 2008, at 9:52 AM, DoctorJoe@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 6/23/08 10:40:28 AM, rd.braun@gmail.com writes: As the dictionary says it is an ERRONEOUS word.      •     an erroneous redundancy for regardless. http://www.iolani.honolulu.hi.us/Keables/KeablesGuide/PartThree/Letters/I.htm      •     regardless; a combination of irrespective and regardless sometimes used humorously wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn      •     Irregardless is a term that has caused controversy since it first appeared in the early twentieth century.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
