That's not a word it has numbers in it!

It's a perfectly valid name of a molecule ;D

How can something so small have such a big name.

It was christened by biologists who had nothing better to do with their time but find rediculuosly complicated names that no one could remember. J/k, of course. With all the thousands of molecule types, there have to be long names. (That doesn't make it an easier school subject though.)

It's organic chemistry. When we name things it sort of depends. You have to stick to a system of course but...If it's something cute name it after a scientist you really adore...If it's something like a slimy funghi or a deadly jelly fish, go for your arch enemy.....Of course there are tragic fates here. Like the poor little limpet that has to carry the name of boris beckeri forever now  |

Sorry. It was named by organic chemists who had nothing better to do with their time but find rediculuosly complicated names that no one could remember.
Um, has anyone else's screen been stretched from long words?

Um, has anyone else's screen been stretched from long words? I remember them by structure ;D And yes, my screen's stretched, too |

Sorry, the streached screen is my fault. Due to the shampoo bottle ingredients.
Just a personal opinion: If that scientist has nothing better to do instead of coming up with such words, shouldn't he or she (no bias here!) retake their primary spelling courses? ;D

It's funner to make up your own spellings.
