The chemical nomenclature bell curve strikes again! This meme brilliantly captures the horseshoe theory of chemistry knowledge:
On the left: The blissfully ignorant layperson who says "sulfuric acid" without a second thought.
In the middle: The chemistry meme enthusiast who's just learned enough to be insufferable about spelling it "sulphuric acid" (with that fancy British/IUPAC "ph").
On the right: The seasoned chemist who's handled H2SO4 so many times they've circled back to "sulfuric acid" because they're too busy avoiding acid burns to care about spelling conventions.
It's the perfect reminder that true expertise often looks surprisingly similar to beginner knowledge, just with way more lab scars!
