I misread autotomy as autonomy and got tripped up

As a counselor I’m used to autonomy being a little different, hopefully now I don’t forget again lol❤

Does nobody read multiple times before picking an answer?? 😭 (reading so many people reading "autonomy" and not questioning it enough to double-check

Yeah I definitely read that as autonomy instead of autotomy and was like “what’s that have to do with anything?” and picked the next best thing I could make sense of (auto is, of course, self; lysis… could maybe mean to split apart? Which is how I rationalized it 😭😂). Anyway, I really need to be better with my reading comprehension 😅🥲 Autotomy makes way more sense

Lysis typically refers to breakdown lysosomes comes to mind, klepto means to steal so think kleptomania. most of my bio professors would teach us to break down the root words to figure out meaning.

I thought it was autonomy, but that also means something else already. It would be like if generosity meant something like “reproductively active” in zoology. No, go pick a different word, that one already means something.

This is the first time ive heard this. This is so cool.. and weird! Come to think of it most facts about the ocean fall under the weird category. Which makes it all the better

I must say you've gotten very good at making these questions, the first handful of them I guessed with no knowledge just based off of what looked right, but I haven't been able to do that for a couple months
