Tom,
Hell no you're not over reacting!
It's fairly simple in my estimation.
Orthosis or Prosthesis = singular noun
Orthoses or Prostheses = plural noun
Orthotic or Prosthetic = adjective (ie. prosthetic device)
Therefore, you do not wear orthotics in your shoes. You wear foot orthoses
in your shoes.
This is basic stuff and should be easy to understand.
So, for anyone providing or asking for orthotics instead of foot
orthoses... Please get it straight. You sound ridiculous.
