Today's word
nosocomial /nah-suh-KOH-mee-ul/ - acquired or occurring in a hospital
A new word for me. My late uncle had to deal with a nosocomial staph infection, but we never used that adjective. I'm never going to get that pronunciation right, though; my mind insists that it's /noh-soh-KOH-mee-ul/.
