lol--that's hilarious. i think i might have that disorder now...
it's a weird thing--i get annoyed when i see a misusage like that, but at the same time, in the context of that database, i kind of like the way it defamiliarizes and reorients my assumptions about language and correctness. because PDSD makes a kind of sense, you know? thinking about the error of substituting drama for trauma is both humorous and like..."huh, those two words are somewhat similar, and drama certainly can be traumatic......." (and vice-versa).
