Abstract:
I have developed something of a reputation for criticizing freely and frequently at our meetings and in my writings. You say you like this and find it useful and entertaining. As you like it, you are welcome to more of it. My comments and criticisms are presented under the following headings: (1) criticize at your peril; (2) how it all started (unjustly accused!); (3) abbreviations (a source of perennial aggravation, confusion, and waste of time); (4) mysterious bodies in mesotheliomas; (5) call a crystal a "crystal," not a "crystalloid"; (6) electron microscopy-a study of osmium artifacts; (7) length-to-diameter ratio of microvilli (mission impossible); (8) lamellar bodies (a popular but debased term); (9) amyloid filaments, not fibers; (10) filaments and microtubules do not branch; (11) there is no such thing as pseudomelanosis; (12) botched histochemistry (just about every gastrointestinal tract pigment was misdiagnosed by histochemistry); (13) intranuclear Russell bodies, not "Dutcher bodies"; and (14) nuclear pores and virus-like particles (a new development in an old farce).
