The organs are exactly where I remember.
Back in the early 90's, our biology teacher specifically addressed the common misconceptions of organ location, such as a "left-sided" heart and "centered" stomach.
I remember this as clear as day, because he had us point to where we thought the heart and stomach were located, and we were all shocked by the truth of the matter. He told us, the incorrect locations stem back from folklore, anatomical ignorance, and simplification of teaching.
Except these days, folklore, anatomical ignorance, and simplification of teaching have been supplanted by an imaginary world where everybody is right all the time in SOME reality far, far away.

Your fake teacher friend couldn't even structure their direct address properly. I'm sorry again that you have a weak education.
This seems to be the common thread among most ME'ers.

I'm responding here with reasoning in a mobile phone to help these people see why a direct address when you already have the attention of someone is considered condescending or passive aggressive. It is not considered polite.
I used to have this trick where I could slow down and speed up my hear rate on demand. People didn't actually believe me, so I'd have them place their hand over my hear to prove it, and I clearly remember always having them place it over the left side of my chest. I'm trying to feel the position of my heartbeat now and it does seem like I can only feel it closer to the center which I find some what disturbing.

Source your images.

And what were you doing? You were being condescending. It's only use is an insulting one when addressing the person directly. Vader was not insulting Luke. Quite the opposite, he wanted Luke to join him. I did a complete write up on this previously.
Because you use the language incorrectly does not mean the writers of the ESB script did.

That's not sourcing them. What site did you pull the images from? If you did not create the images you must source them.
Seriously? You've responded saying you don't have to answer that 3 times already...
In English grammar and rhetoric, direct address is a construction in which a speaker or writer communicates a message directly to another individual or group of individuals. The person who is addressed may be identified by name, nickname, the pronoun you, or an expression that's either friendly or unfriendly.
"You've been given a gift, Peter. With great power, comes great responsibility." (Cliff Robertson as Ben Parker in Spider-Man 2, 2004)
"Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain." (John Goodman as Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski, 1998)
"Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now . . .. Here's looking at you, kid." (Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, 1942)
You simply don't understand how to use a proper noun when addressing a person in one on one conversation. Bad Grammar is Bad Grammar.
All of those are bad grammar if it's just me an you in a room together. The lack of education is strong with you.

Wait, what? I've demonstrated it for you...I didn't side step anything. Are you mental? Are you telling me you think my post misusing direct addresses was acceptable?
