    Do you think it is fair to assume that your readers would understand what you meant when you used scientific terminology without further explanation?
    Yes, it's basic high school science knowledge. Everyone I know took chemistry, physics, and biology in high school. If you really wanted to learn then you wouldn't have tried to pick apart the language/grammar behind my explanation.
    you = forum chemist
    brats = grammar police

    Everyone has their roles in loife on the forum. I didn't see what was so hard to understand about your posts. It's not like you go outta your way to try and sound smart like uhhh.....j2k4.

    But...some farts will kill all sense of smell within seconds.
    I seriously doubt that it's due to olfactory transience (sp?).
    Some have even been known to hinder all the other 4 senses, as well.
    And some can cause instant nausia, my brother's in particular. True story.
    Never play the fart game with him....
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    For your information sweetpea, I have a masters degree in oceanography and an honours degree in biology. The point I was making was that through use of exessive terminology science is not made accessible to the general public. Riddling an explaination with shite that only a small percentage of your readership can understand is negating a full and just understanding of the subject.

    If the author is accessible, so is the terminology.

    Explanations are easily offered if clarity is lacking.

    We all have computors, we are all curious, and no informational obstacle is impenetrable.

    Are we to gad about here. swatting each other with fancy papers and sniffing rare air?

    I hope not, 'cuz I'm out of fancy paper.

    A better idea:

    Let's go play in the traffic-I'll drive.
