You say Potato I say Tomato
Hi All

Friday afternoon is daft question time. What's the difference between Diluent and Dilutant, Wikiidoda suggests they are interchangable, I'm not so sure. Is it just some rule of grammar that I'm missing?

Be gentle, please...

Can't help with this but it bugs me when the yanks pronounce aluminium without the second 'i' LOL

Don't get me started on the football / soccer thing. How can a game involving no use of feet on balls be called football - doh !!

It used to be aluminum here too, we changed the spelling but the septics retained the original, I think we have to give them this one.
