> I know of no other language that invented new words [...] when RNA splicing was discovered (Épissage)

Well épissage is not a new word just like splicing was not a new word.

Épisser is joining two ropes together by weaving their strands. That's sailor language, not some new word invented to spite the English.

Yeah, it's a strange complaint since in English word the word for joining two ropes is also splicing.
