Kakorrhaphiophobia - a great word. Pity I never did Latin at school. I am assuming it comes from Latin, but that could be the start of me getting that question wrong 😂

I remember I first watched  "A Nightmare On Elm Street" in a French lesson at the end of a school term.  It was not dubbed to French and did not have French subtitles 🤣

Now to see how much attention I was paying to it.  Have not watched any of that franchise in ages.
