Psst…I think you mean "silicon".

Haha indeed! I will leave it for traceability.

I had to apply some bathroom silicone sealant over the weekend so I just go ahead and blame it on that.

And we use silicone thermal paste on top of a piece of silicon ;-)

Nothing but the finest pulverized silver for me, thanks ;)

I removed those sticky e's from your fine comment above. I hope that's ok. It makes the discussion less distracting.

No problem at all, it is a relevant discussion but in a way I now feel I moved attention away from the intent of the OP which was to raise awareness and support for Symbiflow.

I've edited obvious typos in some comments. I can't seem to help it.

Psst...I think you mean "silicium" :P

(before any of you start typing your answers: that's the joke)

I always wonder why "silicium" is disused in favor of silicon, given that "-ium" is used liberally today, and you made me to look it up. Apparently, "-ium" is a suffix for metal only. But when naming new/hypothetical elements that have no standard name yet, IUPAC's Systematic Element Name rules overrides it and use "-ium" for all elements, but when the name is given, the usual rules apply.
