I guess I'm aiming for consistency with the likes of -logy. Cburnett 22:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Senioritis

does "senioritis" really belong in this table? also, where is "periodontitis" - which may just be the most common disease of man? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.15.167.149 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] slang

What about slang terms such as "Lazyitis"? Totnesmartin 09:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Wictionary mentions colloquial use of the -itis suffix, so I think it's fair to mention it here, also. I added a mention of colloquial uses of "-itis" such as "senioritis" and "wiiitis." I don't think we necessarily need a table of colloquial uses, though.Jkisch (talk) 16:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
