Another of those crazy balloons they give out at weekends
All right, pop quiz! Without sneakily opening another tab and googling the word, tell me what 'pneumococcal' means.
Call it cursed stereotypes at work, but how many people out there are likely to tote a balloon and know the meaning of 'pneumococcal'? And assuming the more medically-inclined (or just plain linguaphiliac) members of the public are able to figure that part out, just how are they supposed to fight it anyway?
(Then again, this kid looks like she means business. Also, it is a word entirely worthy of Spellbound.)
Anyway, who am I to say, being the one who, at the age of 6, digested a whole sheaf of brochures about Aids when stuck at some clinic without suitable reading matter?
