You're right – I got them the wrong way round! I only know it's because I'm a tetraplegic, which is a Greek term with 'tetra' meaning for and 'plegic' limbs. Americans use the term quadriplegic, which mixes 'quad', which is a Latin term, with the Greek 'plegic'. I think officially the accepted term is now tetraplegic.
It's a shame quadrilogy caught on and Fox didn't use tetralogy instead.
