As I was mylotting yesterday I noticed that @nomus24g had changed his user name to one that had a prefix Er.
I asked him what it stood for.He replied ,"Engineer", just as Dr. stood for doctor.
I thought he had made it up but no, I had erred .
He listed the prefixes of other professions in a discussion today.They are not all that well known.
Guess I do learn a lot, on myLot.
And if you capitalize it , ER then it becomes an American medical drama TV series.

@minx267 so you need to connect to the right person at the right time.Also that needs lots of quick and sensible thinking I guess.

I haven't seen it.It came out while I typed Er , so I thought what differences a puncutation or a capital can make.
Colony being there will definitely make it great for me
