Yes, I know very well it's a different word and don't need to google it. Perhaps it was my fuzzy punctuation that was confusing. We were debating whether medications covered up symptoms OR helped induce remission, and I concluded that they can do both, either, or neither. In other words, perhaps pointless to debate since there isn't an absolute answer that fits everyone. Well, I've got my copy of Eats, Shoots and Leaves sitting here next to me, maybe I'll look into it.
