Hah, I was seriously curious what you were trying to get at there because that one line made me double take so hard :P. Sorry if I came off like a know-it-all, but I work in a building full of labs full of chemists and physicists so proper terminology like that is a habit because it can be necessary (for safety reasons if nothing else).

The rest of that is definitely all true. Especially the bit about the pH scale being confusing if you don't realize it's a non-linear scale .
