It is somehow reassuring to me that I will also have direct contact with the dentist, even if that appointment is after the ENT appointment.

Waves,
I understand that.
AND!!--- You have a dentist appt. Good job
Even better is that you expect he will be good. What is not clear to me --- you say he is friendly but it is not clear to me that you have ever been in his "chair" so to speak. Anyway, whether he is new or new-ish is close enough I suppose.

Maybe the machine is inventing a language and allowing itself to change the spelling expectations somewhat randomly. . . . Like a code.
Re: Random thoughts on language. I read yesterday somewhere that "ish" is becoming an almost accepted word all by itself.
