Ok, you may have already read about this on my most recent facebook status update... but I really am totally shocked. How can I, being a chemist of at least 5 years (and really longer, it just took me a bit to figure it out), have been saying an element name wrong my whole life????
Neodymium.... not neodinium.
I guess it's not too unreasonable because we usually use the symbols instead of the whole names. Especially when that name is as long as neodymium.
I really cannot express my disbelief.
It's gonna take me a bit to get over this. I kind of feel like a fraud.
