Comment on Elizabeth Holmes's partner raises millions for blood-testing startupparent

Lover = bit on the side.

Partner = main romantic connection.

Partner doesn't mean that at all.

Warren Buffet and Charley Munger were partners. So were Jobs and Woz. Or Buffet and Gates while playing Bridge many times. There's absolutely nothing romantic or sexual about the word "partner" itself, though of course partnerships exist in those realms as well as in business, sports, music, dance and countless other pursuits.
