Dental inquiry

So, I went to the dentist today. Have you ever noticed how a dentist (or dental technician - why are they called technicians when they clean your teeth? shouldn't they be called "dental janitors" or something? Ok, I know they're called "dental hygienists" too) will wrap his/her hands in sterile gloves, grab a sterile utensil (at my dentist the tools are unwrapped from a sealed package just before use), and then grab the overhead lamp handle which is simply "out there" (i.e., not sterilized) before sticking his/her hands in your mouth? Does anyone else see the absurdity in this sequence?

This afternoon I was looking up some information on a movie and found some user reviews; among the views was a guy who called himself:

AllenTehAwesome

Did you catch that? "Allen Teh Awesome" - not "the" awesome but "teh" awesome. Awesome, eh?

PS: the stump's still in the ground...
