    The Tory leader said her party would introduce legislation for minimum service levels and block doctors taking widespread industrial action, placing them under the same restrictions that apply to police officers, soldiers and prison officers.

    Minimum service levels are all very well and good. But nobody is going to agree to them if not financially renumerated.

        What the hell? Has that always… what? How? But?

        Did you just conjure up this word that I’ve never heard before in my life, and then time-travel back and change all the dictionaries?

          Think “money” rather than “number” to get the right word. It’s not actually from “money”, mind you, it’s from Latin “munerari” (to give), but it’s a useful mnemonic.

            Yeah, I had a look and it makes sense… it’s just… it seems like everyone has been saying “renumerated” for my entire life until this point, and now suddenly I’ve found out my entire life has been based on lies (not that it’s a word I’d say that often, to be honest).

            [Edit] Anyway, I’ll definitely remember it now. Not because of the mnemonic, but simply because of the shame of being wrong for several decades.

        It’s very rare I am surprised these days on the internet (I’ve seen many things… 😲) but this is wonderful. Thank you. I’ve learnt something new 😁.
