Non-chemists say /'junjVnaizd/ and mean "organized into a labor union"; chemists say /Vn'ai@naizd/ and mean "not ionized". -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
