Done with excellence and precision
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it is also used informally in the United States to mean "done or performed with excellence and precision." I am having second thoughts about adding it to the page, though. On one hand, I trust Merriam Webster; there is strong consensus that it is a reputable dictionary. On the other hand, this definition is absent from almost all other dictionaries. Only Brittanica gives a definition to this effect ("very exact or skillful"). Collins, Vocabulary.com, Dictionary.com, none of these have it. Inner Focus (talk) 14:50, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Clinical is always an adjective according to the standard dictionaries: Oxford, Cambridge, and Macmillan learners dictionary. Your page classifies clinical under both adjective and noun. Clinical is never a noun; it should modify a noun. Thank you.
 * Clinicals is definitely a noun .... e.g. nursing clinicals in COVID. It's possible that it's more common as a plural, but I cant be sure .... it's just an artifact of search that the plural form is much easier to search for. — Soap — 18:28, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
