@DougSaunders thought it was a typo, apologies for correcting. Bathetic from βάθος, but how does it apply here? -
@asteris I feel embarrassed, correcting you on Greek prefixes! Here's how "bathos" used in English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathos -
@DougSaunders np, thought it only denoted the opposite depth transition. Didn't know it was a word in English, you learn sth every day :)
