How to get from downtown Los Angeles to Disneyland and back without a car? Welcome to America, where decent public-transport services are for Commies (and parts of the east-coast). |

How can I translate medicines? @Mark Mayo - Yeah, one of the reasons I chose my username is the intrinsic paradox. |

How can I translate medicines? The chemical names can vary too! For example, what I call Acetaminophen, other places call Paracetamol. Really, the chemical name is "N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanamide", but no one uses that. |

How can I translate medicines? @Remou - The meaning of "Drugs" is regional (and I've made myself look like a fool by not knowing this). In my experience (America, south-west coast), "drugs" used in isolation has a slight negative connotation, but it is perfectly applicable for legal medication. In fact, one of the common terms for a Pharmacy is "Drugstore". OTOH, in some places in Europe, it almost exclusively means illegal narcotics. It's probably safer to fall-back to "Medications", but don't be surprised if a doctor asks you "Are you taking any drugs", and expects you to include Tylenol (Acetaminophen). |
