#SupportJournalism: Prescribe Yourself some #HerboLogy - Maybe that's the type of #OLogy You Need (in Bricktown/OkLahoma-City/Broken-Arrow) | @OMMAok @OklahomaMedical @MedMarijuanaOK @OKMedMarijuana @WebMD @getFandom @issuu

The dispensary's ad (selling 'Herb' that's legal-with-your-MMJID (here in Oklahoma, but not-yet 'interstate' enough for me to post to my almost-professional classifieds on Facebook)–an ad that supports the journalism of the July 29th Oklahoma Gazette–reads:

I probably won't be able to 'prescribe myself some Herbology' anytime soon, but I'm glad to keep on 'randomly -oLogizing (or maybe '-Logizing' is the suffix, attached to the word by 'whichever stem-vowel is convenient') as much as I can!'— "clearing The Path for you to 'move your mind forward!'" (That's my only "agenda," tho people accuse me of some other agenda!)

'That suffix' (below-hyperlinked to Thought Collective's list of -ologys) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

---

The suffix “-ology” (or "-logy" ... not to be confused with "Logy" (built on "Heavy, |Dull")) is built on words that mean “to Collect, Gather (to Pick-out Words (Speak))” (Branch of Knowledge or -Science)

"-Ologist" is 'that foundation' + "-ist" (built on Foundations that mean "one who Does or Makes" and/or "one who Adheres to a certain Doctrine or Custom").

Maybe–to be specific–I'm more of an "-ographer" than an 'ologist'; I don't necessarily 'collect' all the knowledge, I just 'write' as much of it as I can (often 'copy/pasting').

For example: 'All the -ologies' (listed- & described a little better-at the ThoughtCo-site hyperlinked above ... though they call 'Herbology' "the study of the therapeutic use of plants (not necessarily 'the herb' people typically focus-on)") are listed below:
