If you are telling me someone is "anoxic" more likely than not, that person is dead (though there can be exceptions). Try again, and you to Amazon. Definition of Anoxia Anoxia: 1. Strictly speaking, the absence of oxygen. 2. The near absence of oxygen. 3. Sometimes used loosely as a synonym for hypoxia. From an- (without) + -ox- (oxygen) + -ia == the state of being without oxygen. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=2271 P.S. This is a funny response from you juanesky, since you previously stated it was a made up word. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's a law somewhere that states that any post that corrects another poster's spelling will itself contain a spelling error. 4.
