I've already been (humorously, I hope) pedantic on a mailing list today about 'compliment' vs 'complement', but I now see this report about Prince Charles' interests.
The prince has championed a number of causes, some of them controversial, including hunting and complimentary medicine.
If 'complimentary medicine' involves patients and medical staff being polite to one another, then not only am I all for it but I am rather dismayed to see it thought of as something that might raise eyebrows!
