I generally try to be less picky than a compiler and gloss over
spelling error, but when it's in the subject of a long running thread:

Hippocratic medicine was humble and passive. The therapeutic approach
was based on "the healing power of nature" ("vis medicatrix naturae"
in Latin). According to this doctrine, the body contains within itself
the power to re-balance the four humours and heal itself (physis).
In which case I apologize for lack of subtlety in my humor circuit.
