When I am king of the world, anyone who tries to explain the difference
between benzene, benzine, and benzyne will be sent to the work bank to
be given a menial job such as copy-editing the CRC. By accepting absurd
chemistry terminology they have demonstrated unfitness for any
responsible role in my orderly society. Other chemists will be allowed
to keep their jobs if they commit to using words that can be told apart.
clue:
“The CRC” means the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, a
reference book full of tables of data.
give me a clue so sweet and true
