I'd say all this horsehit will stop when Mercury is no longer in apparent retrograde(Apparent prograde?)

The root word is "anterior", which means either toward the front (in anatomy) or preceding in time. I may have been mistaken when I applied to term to planetary motion. It is a very common term in biology, and is used as an opposite to retrograde (say in transport of proteins up and down nerves). Apparently, this term isn't used in planetary observation. The most common term according to wikipedia is "direct motion". Apologies.
