Pet peeve of mine: learn how to properly say debridement.

No, it is not debridement like the bride in a wedding. It is debridement like a dog breed. Saying it incorrectly seems extremely unintelligent, especially when conversing with other healthcare professionals.

Happy Sunday

You need to be understood by others. No one cares if you say it right. Everyone says debridement as a bride. So chill
 
Well I just asked Siri for the definition and she said it incorrectly as well...honestly wouldn’t be surprised if “dentists” in the UK said it “correctly”
 
When one is in the act of debridement, is one removing debris or is one removing da bride?
 
Word History: Today's Good Word is a recent arrival from French: débridement, from débrider "to unbridle, debride" from Old French desbrider: des- "de-, un-" + bride "bridle". ... The analogy comes from the likening of constricting bands of dead tissue to bridles.”
 
It’s obviously pronounced “duh-brie-mon”

the more you hit that guttural French R sound, the more educated you are. Obviously. And if you add a T sound at the end, all the MDs will laugh at you if they even understand what you’re trying to say.

You’re the person who says sauntameters unironically, aren’t you?

(btw, I’m just joking with you dude. I’ve heard debridement said both ways. I don’t think people care. It’s like niche. It’s said differently all over and people just agree to disagree.)
