When I used to go on fishing trips, whenever I passed through a small town I used to stop and browse the old-time hardware stores---it seemed like they always had something that I could use or had been looking for and never could find (pre-internet).
Guess the scope of internet sources are subject to the same sort of randomness.
So true! It is all in the eye of the beholder. I find all old school teachings are where the new teachings began. If you already know what you are looking for, better to meet it in person than on a tiny screen. I am a very trusting person but I... still to this day.... have not shopped for anything on the internet and bought it... other than lingerie. Those episodes have been hit and miss. I know I don't have boobs as big as the they market as and I know my bum is smaller. It is always a gamble. It does keep Don entertained when I am not around. It's all good. Tools can be anything or everything depending how you look at them. :) :)

The simultaneous presence of 2+ morbid conditions or diseases in the same Pt, which may complicate a Pt's hospital stay; in the US health care system, comorbidity carries considerable weight in determining the reasonable length of hospitalization under the DRG classification of diseases. See DRGs.

I once went through the "A's" in an abridged dictionary trying to find some new words to use in conversation. But I realized quickly that it was less total effort to ask for a "Tylenol" rather than an "anodyne" when I had a headache.
Words serve speech, speech does not serve words. (KISS---Keep it simple, stupid)
Edit---added quotation marks to anodyne.

After a few months on here I also realized it is called Paracetamol.
There is no difference between acetaminophen and paracetamol. They are two generic names for a chemical substance known as para-acetylaminophenol. All three of these are better known by its trade name (at least in the U.S.) of Tylenol.
Not since I stopped commuting to work. Back then I learned at least 3 new words every day... some on the way to work and some on the way home. Some of the word were so new that they weren't even in the dictionary yet.
Is this a ploy? Are you cheating because you can't find the word and are having us look it up for you? Or, are you such a good teacher that you taught us a new word today? Both are very sneaky; therefore, I give you an A+. I have always thought if you are smarter than the game and can cheat the rules, you deserve to win and if you are a smart enough teacher to have us do some work and learn in the process, you are an incredible teacher. All in all, Three Cheers to you Element. Mission complete. :) :)!

In the English language, no, but in other languages, I’m continually looking for not only new words to add to my vocabulary, but also for more definitions to words, for correct conjugations of verb form/tenses, for phrases and idioms that include those words, for more ways to use the words in sentences, etc.
