What I'm not ok with is just saying it's "incorrect" when there is no clear indication that it is incorrect. It may be incorrect in chemistry circles, but not everyone in the world is a chemist and even chemists might use it for all we know, nobody is perfect. So what gives PubChem the authority to decide how people speak English? I feel quite happy knowing that I can still speak my language the way I feel like it, rather than being restricted by some authority in which words I am allowed to use.
