Some time I will pull vocabulary just because it is the best expression to get your point across, but it will have the opposite effect on others and they will think you are being snotty.

Thanks seer for being a good sport!

Doh!

worst part is i spelled it wrong trying to type too fast with one hand :(
its actually "stoichiometrically".
and no, not from an app, when i was young I was considered a bright guy, my scholastic field was something now called plasma physics, but since i was so young back then they ran out of sciences to teach me in junior high so i became both a junior high student for regular classes, and a high school student for the sciences until they ran out and i became a high school student for 'regular' stuff in the mornings, and went down to the local private college in the afternoons for the science stuff. When I got to UCLA, it was a real mess. Let me tell you its no fun being the youngest guy everywhere you go, especially when surrounded by to die for young women all focused on pursuing their MRS degree with the older guys :(
Add to that the faculty's insistence that I take chem for chem majors, math for math majors, physics for physics majors, electromechanical engineering, what they now call computer sciences (you talk about primitive! punch card programming in fortran and cobol- data on those giant reels of tape:(} all in addition to the more normal honos freshman load- all while singing both scholastically and professionally. lol I think i was carrying something like 24 or 26 units that first year. lasted right up till i got drafted:( That was a hell of a year! as we called it on the sciences floor of our dorm- "The Year Of Our ITO!" named after our fraternity leader, a senior heading into the Boalt hall lawschool and whom most of you have heard of

'hint' he later became the judge in the OJ simpson Murder trial.

anyway, all water under the bridge and long ago. after my initial service, I did my best to forget as much of the technical aspects of this universe as was possible but some how 'stochiametrically' managed to persist. Thinking back, it might be, er well, you see there was this girl ........

anyway, now you know more than you ever wanted, my apologies (

Now wait a minute ... no apologies were needed until you got to the girl issue. You tell us all the other and then stop dead in your tracks on that! .... Now I'm pondering if I should accept the apology or not
You're a good'un Seer ... ride safe

she was in my organic chem class, sat right in front of me on those tall lab type stools, a fond memory etched

Wow, I can't believe people don't know what a "Stichiometrically correct ratio" is. This was the gee whiz phrase in my set in the early 1950's. In fact, the use of that phrase got me the opportunity to wrench on a 220 Offenhauser sprint car engine.
