That was a very Reddit-like answer. Instead of being pompous in your responses in the future, try talking to someone like they are a human being and just say what you mean. No need to be condescending and add dictionary shit to your response.

Example:

Hey LRAD, I think OP meant his doctor prescribed a protocol to him. Not necessarily a physical written prescription like you may be used to.

See how non-dickish that sounded compared to your post?
