Identity Imposition

Imposing a specific identity on a person by treating them well or badly in order to manipulate and control that person.

Someone I know is an identity imposition master. When we're on good terms, she treats me as if were a celebrity and a genius, when we're not getting along or when she starts to lose an argument, she speaks to me as if I were a fool.

lemon cure

The close to infallible method which cures colds by drinking fresh lemon juice (from 5 to 10 lemons) with a straw.

In a book called "Las Plantas Curan," published in the 1960s in Brazil, which listed the most popular herbs and the illnesses they cure, I read about the 'lemon cure.' Whenever I catch a cold, via a straw I drink the juice from 5 to 10 lemons and they cure me every time. However, one time I did have to go to the doctor and she gave me some antibiotics because I had a fever, in the summer—imagine!

possibleizer

Person who makes a thing possible.

The translation of the Spanish word "posibilitador" is "possibilitator" or "possibleizer." Though both are new in English, the word "posibilitador" is common in Spanish. A "possibleizer" is (different from; not the same as) a "facilitator."

PROPAGAINDA

A more realistic way of writing the word propaganda because its purpose

is to obtain benefits for the propagandist(s) or propagaindist(s).

Though it seems broadcasters replaced the word "propaganda" with the word "commercial," Edward Bernay's supplanting that hot word with "public relations" is a fact. Of course, "propagainda" is a more realistic way to write it because the purpose is to profit. Hey, maybe "PROFITgainda" is better.

Love Science

Love Science studies the over 200-types of love, and the many ways individuals can love and be loved.

Individuals who practice love science are called love scientists and they have discovered that the brain processes love neurochemically and neuroelectrically and changes the body's biochemistry in ways that improve the biological, emotional, and mental states of both humans and animals.

I feel love for an individual who I calculate can help me or provide me with something I need. When a person "falls" in love, they lose a degree of self-control and feel a strong need to give different things to their love object, thereby making love mutual and allowing the two or more participants to grow as a result of their loving interactions. Lastly, love cannot be purchased or given a price. I think it is a one-of-a-kind supernatural phenomenon.

Prominent Punctuation

Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.

Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com to request their approval.

Bias Conflict

Bias Conflict is short for Inextricable Cognitive Bias Conflict. An extremely common and automatic conflict which erupts between individuals because each individual can only perceive and interpret events anchored in their biases which produce their cognitive biases.

Each one of two men rents a room in a house in Lakeland, Florida. Along with the landlady, the three live in a Bias Conflict because until each one comes to comprehend Cognitive Biases, each one will continue perceiving and interpreting everything based on their inherent biases.
