I think it's so dumb that science papers use terms like "adaxial and abaxial surfaces", obscure dyslexia-nightmare words that provide no unique meaning and I think only serve the purpose of making the people that use them feel important, just say top and bottom

I'm sure every scientist has these types of terms in there respective fields, others in biology that I find annoying: oligolectic/polylectic, heterogeneous/homogeneous, ex vivo/in vivo/in vitro (but also any use of latin terms)
