I hated high school english.
I was required to take arts course when I was at Univ., and I only took one. It wasn't english.
I work in a optics related field, but the word synoptic still comes up on occassion without confusion.
I know it's not worth wasting time over.
My post just lets me get it off my chest.
I wish I had some nice post about PR instead, but I haven't mastered it yet. Infact, I barely use it. 
Thanks for noticing and commenting Johan
