    If a foot doctor is called a podiatrist, and a foot fetishist is called a podophile, why don't we count our steps with a podometer? Is this a sinister conspiracy from the Libertarian Party to keep us from constructing pedophile-detecting instruments?

    So I've looked it up. Ped and pod, in reference to feet, are derived from Latin and Greek respectively, whereas "paidos" is a Greek word meaning "of children." I think you Brits were right, for once, about spelling such words as "paediatrics." Doun't feel toou smoug about it though.
