Image source: LimpExplanation9645, Pixabay That language isn’t stationary! I’m translator and for the last few years my native language (Ukrainian) changing a lot. We are bringing some old words and rules back and, at the same time, creating new ones, which is awesome. But, unfortunately, I’m hearing all the time about “truth is only in vocabulary” and “new words aren’t real” and sometimes it is really pissing me off. Languages are changing all the time! It’s their nature. Yes, there’s a set of main rules and words but even they are changing from time to time. People creating new words all the time, some of them are disappearing with time, some staying for much longer and that’s okay.

Side note. Don’t hang around too close to us either, even something as simple as one of our tires blowing up can kill/seriously injure you by itself or cause us to completely lose control of our rigs if it’s a steer tire. Sorry for being dark, but people don’t realize quite how dangerous semi trucks can be.

Image source: Bada*sBumblebeee, Mikhail Nilov Shocking someone (like an AED or “paddles”) doesn’t restart your heart, it stops it. MaroonTrucker28 People often assume the heart stops and an AED fires it back up. The heart is contracting, but ineffectively (an arrhythmia, it’s basically lethally uncoordinated) and therefore not pumping any oxygenated blood to the body. Which equals death before too long. So the idea is to stop the heart so it’ll reset itself to a normal rhythm. Many films will also show CPR, and the person comes back from unconsciousness. This DOES NOT happen. The only thing CPR does is keeps pressure on the heart to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. CPR is not a treatment, it’s a temporary measure to keep the bodily organs oxygenated long enough to get the heart restarted via shock.
