Unionized

Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized

Holy shit thanks I wasn't getting it.

It just sounds weird

Still technically correct, but weird.

Reminds me of how foreign spies were caught during the cold war because they couldn't pronounce certain words or formulate sentences with words in a customary order

No, it has to be a reel when you place your cutout in one of the bottom corners explaining this meme and obviously you ask what's everybody's opinion on this and to write it in the comments, or better one, ask people what's it about, of course some dumbasses would chime in and make a lot of traffic so THE ALGORITHM will show this useless shut to more people etc

See, but I'm a chemist, but I also believe in the power and importance of organized labor, so I still read that as unionized.

Plus, I think most chemists would say "neutral" or use protonated/deprotonated rather than un-ionized

Too legible; needs more Facebook emojis

I think the reference is to "pipe union" adapters. Not sure the chemistry reference.

uni-ronically funny

go $fsck yourself

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a box over it so it's only heavily implied making me entirely safe from the scary-as-fuck word and distracted me from the area by circling the punchline that I would have never seen without it. I was about to shit a brick.

fuck

Also un-ionized as a hyphen (which you used when writing it) and unionized doesn't. Which is probably why you, and most chemists, would read it as unionized as well.

It does get legitimately used both ways. In a chemistry textbook, seeing it written as "unionized" is pretty common, and wiktionary says that the hyphenated form is predominantly used in contexts where it might be confused with "having a union" (which matches with my experience).

However, I still assert that it's just not a word chemists use that much as there are other, less ambiguous synonyms available.

Yes comrade, clearly any pure blooded, land of freedom American, would know that un-ionized is not correct. It is instead union-ized... which is what happens when you cut onions.

My favorite was how German spies in WW2 were easily caught because they'd just show up in beachside towns out of nowhere (right off the u-boat) in suits and carrying briefcases stuffed with cash.

Bilb!

Another way to tell the difference is tasting them
