Explanation of the chemist assay:
Ask them what a mole is.
- If you ask my sister,
who was trained as a hairstylist and had to take courses on 'skin',
what a mole is she will probably tell you it is a pigmented skin blemish.
-
If you ask my dad, who has a garden, what a mole is he will probably tell you it s a nocturnal, subterranean rodent that
keeps eating the roots of all his plants.
-
If you ask my friend, who is really into Mexican cooking but doesn't speak Spanish, he may tell you it's a spicy sauce containing chocolate.
(Technically this is pronounced Mo-LAY.)
-
If you ask a chemist you will be told it is 6.022*10^23 molecules of a substance.
Ask them to pronounce unionize.
- Most people will pronounce this Yoon-yun-ize
- A chemist will pronouce this un-eye-un-ize. (i.e. the reverse of ionize).
Ask them if they wash their hands before using the toilet.
Enough said.
