word-direct

The fact that the words individuals hear or read control the ways they think, feel, and act.
Human beings are directed by the words they hear or read, and also greatly influenced by the ways their parents, the members of their family, friends, neighbors, classmates behave, and by other role models, all of whom—intentionally or not—by example, intentionally or not, get others to do or not do the things they do. So, I am writing the lyrics to a song to word-direct as many people as possible.

DNA upgrade

A medical procedure which will—if and when it becomes reality—allow patients to modify and logically upgrade their genes to eliminate certain genetic problems, diseases, increase their intelligence, physical height; change the color of their hair, eyes, skin; increase or decrease the size of certain body part(s); and bring about other specific changes.
Marsha underwent a DNA upgrade, and in about 7-years, when her body has accepting her entire DNA upgrade she will be 5-inches taller. As of today she will be growing a tiny bit each day. It remains to be seen if all or only some children of DNA upgrade patients inherit their parent's upgraded DNA.

corelate

Who added the second "r" to the word "corelate" to make it "correlate"?

Does anyone or anything benefit from that addition?
Was it best to do so?
I am certain the second "r" confuses and is unnecessary.

romance is a business

Romantic relationships are a business because every man and every woman in a romantic relationship does all they can to get the most from the other person and give much or little in return. (Dear Urban Dictionary Staff: This definition and the sentence below are edits to my original post)
ROMANCE IS A BUSINESS because many people who fall in love start giving the most they can to the person they fell in love with without asking for something in return, the true purpose at the core of falling in love is always to at some point get or take the most from the person they fell in love with.

scientific living

Living by applying the scientific method to make the most important decisions, all along doing all one can to never make a decision based solely on an emotion.
Individuals who live scientifically make the most important decisions only after taking the scientific method's six steps: 1) asking a question, 2) doing background research, 3) constructing a hypothesis, 4) testing the hypothesis by doing an experiment, 5) analyzing the data and drawing a conclusion, and 6) writing down the results.

Scientific living also entails doing a great deal of observation, writing down as much as possible what one perceives, along with prioritizing, planning, and calculating likely outcomes.

The opposite of scientific living is living 'spur of the moment.'
