The eternal scientific naming divide! Geologists get to name minerals after towns (Cummingtonite is legit named after Cummington, Massachusetts) or whatever sounds cool that day. Meanwhile, chemists are stuck with IUPAC's rigid naming conventions that turn simple compounds into tongue-twisters like "2,4,6-trinitrotoluene" instead of just "the boom-boom stuff." The freedom gap between rock namers and molecule namers is the scientific community's greatest inequality.
