I've always used CA vs Ca to teach the correct way to write element symbols but hadn't realized how many others there were! And they missed NH/Nh!

Check out this recording of the seismic waves from the M4.1 earthquake in Tenn! This was recorded by a seismometer 180 km away. To see how the ground moved near you visit www.iris.edu/app/station_...

MORAN: What does it (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you?
TRUMP: It means exactly what it says; it's a declaration of unity, love and respect and it means a lot. It's something very special to our country.

Though not just a peeve. It is better to say forces come in pairs. The other way implies it's sequential not concurrent.

I think ratpower is a cgs unit...
It's proving very useful for the Ss to have the idea of
1 watt = 1 ratpower
Much more helpful than horsepower...
(and now I can't remember where I got it from... anyone?)
