You guys are missing out on the best spell checker in the world. It's free too! I guess your acetylcholinesterase is just not functioning. I personally think that bad spelling can lower a mission rating. It just shows that either the developer or the spell checker was neither awake nor functioning at the time.

Or use small words. No one cares to hear chemical names. Not unless it's Molybdenum. And I don't care if I spelled it wrong. lol

Well, there's Argon, Uranium and Deuterium as well. I can't think of any other important chemicals in FS.

If you want to know what acetylcholinesterase is look at the last three letters in the word. The suffix 'ase' refers to an enzyme. So basically it's the enzyme in your brain that destroys the chemical acetylcholine, and by doing that your muscle contracts. Neat stuff, huh?!

i found that out in a quick internet search,

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, including PB, produce acute destructive changes at the neuromuscular junction, the site of connection between nerve cells and muscle fibers, at which nerve cells signal muscles to contract. Because studies of the neuromuscular junction require microscopic inspection of muscle tissue and tests of electrical and chemical properties of the neuromuscular junction at a fine level, studies investigating these alterations have not been performed in living humans but primarily in muscle preparations from rats and frogs exposed to PB or other AChE inhibitors (also called "anticholinesterases"). These studies have examined the effects of PB and other "carbamate" AChE inhibitors, sarin and other OP nerve-agent AChE inhibitors, and nonnerve-agent OP (e.g., pesticide) AChE inhibitors on the muscle and neuromuscular junction.

sounds cool shame i dont know what it means

<pulls out his NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards>

<opens to a random page>

how about Dipropylene glycol methyl ether (CH3OC3H6OC3H6OH)
which is on page 122.

or how about this one on page 100?

Dichloromonofluoromethane (CHCI2F), also known as Freon 21 and Halon 112.

Ok, this is one I learned back when I was 8 or so, and I still know it by heart. It's the longest word in the English language:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicscilicovolcanoconiosis

It's basically a disease of the lungs caused by volcanic ash (and it's verra', verra tiny!)

Supercalifragileisticespialidocious - more or less, but that's both a make-up word and shorter than mine. So there.

You got me there, but, unless they are going to give you editing rights on this board, how will you go about checking every ones spelling?
