The perfect linguistic pH joke doesn't exi— Oh wait, there it is! Someone brilliantly connected Spanish phonetics with chemistry by asking "If they don't use pH how do they tell acids from bases?" Pure genius! The punchline works because Spanish doesn't use the "ph" digraph in spelling (replacing it with "f"), while in chemistry, pH is the scale that measures how acidic or basic a solution is. It's a spectacular collision of etymology and titration that would make both linguists and chemists snort their coffee through their nose filters.
