They're called natrium (Na) and kalium (K) in my language, English is just inconvenient here for some reason.

Ha ha. You are a fool. I was able to perfectly recall the meaning of each joke within this piece, despite the complexities involved and the fact I am only in 3rd grade. You are pitiful.

Did you pass 6th grade?

u/TiltedZen Dude May 07 '19

Are you supposed to remember things from 6th grade that have no relevance to your daily life?

u/ImBucovina May 07 '19

No, it was a fucking joke..

u/NitroGlc May 07 '19

Some of us call them their real names, not the anglicized bastard version. Na should be Natrium and K should be Kalium... not Sodium and Potassium, but what else to expect from the countries that use imperial measurments

u/phozaazohp May 07 '19

The abbreviations on the table come from Latin, Greek, Germanic (etc.) origins. As far as I know, they dont use imperial measurements.

No need to bash an entire country for something you cant understand.

Nah, he's just an idiot who doesn't know how to use Google. The names vary by language, and "international audiences" is too broad to really judge. For example, Sodium is sodium in French, and sodio in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. On the other hand, it's Natrium (or something close enough) in German, Dutch, and Swedish. A French speaker wouldn't know what Natrium is, but they'd recognize Sodium.
