Yeah, ain’t it! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find anything more than a red stain on the ground, whenever I go to make rabbit stew. Kinda sucks.
All your acid is belong to us?

I abase myself before the wit and wisdom of the SDMB.
As well you should, my friend, as well you should…

Why, wherever would we find sufficient pedantic douchbags?

In American usage, alkali and base are not synonymous (though lye is an alkali whichever way you define it).
Wikipedia does a good enough job to educate the readers as well as inform the writers. I don’t understand why news headlines are getting worse rather than better over the years.

Don’t talk about Fight Club!
Ok, what should I do next?
Depends. Was that the first or second time you didn’t talk about it?
I almost thought this was a joke thread. You read a story about a man dissolving his wife’s face with a chemical, you feel outraged enough to start a pit thread…about the name of the chemical.
