It is so amusing to listen to the NPR anchor attempt to pronounce "x-ray crystallography" while announcing the Nobel Prize winners.

There was an ad for antibacterial dish soap a few years ago (back when I had a TV) that had two women talking about what sort of stuff it cleared up. One woman had a list of things like "chicken fat" and "grease", while the other woman's list said things like "Staphylococcus aureus", which she stumbled over.

It made me frown. What's so hard about that? It's a common enough bacteria (and I didn't like the subtext that women were better off in the kitchen than in the labs).
