Didn't think this warranted a new thread, so yeah, necromancy!

Generic names of chemical compounds are verbal formulae, not English words.
Whose #1 fan am I? ;)
Haha, silly llamas. That wasn't a scientific statement.
Sign this petition Suzy made for me to get my interview with Greg K: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/873/7...ew-you-dammit/

Why is that silly? It is a verbal formula. Linguists will argue that the full word for Titin doesn't count because it's not in the dictionary, it's technical, and is not an actual word. The longest unchallenged, non-coined word is antidisestablishmentarianism. Everything longer is either coined, technical, and/or not in the dictionary, and therefore not actually a word.
It's still crazy long, though, and I can't believe anyone takes the time to listen to the whole thing. Three hours for one protein... now that's silly
