Read what you write!
Until context-sensitive spellcheckers become a mainstay of word processing programs, it often pays to read through any written article before submission:
Plank’s Constant: Probably the most misspelled term in physics, leading to generations of confused undergrads wondering about the link between carpentry and quantum mechanics.
Hardon: Already a Bad Science classic!
Atomic Farce Microscopy: No, really, we’re getting atomic resolution, even if the whole thing’s suspended on bungee cords. Yeah, sure.
Currant source: Why else would you lick a 9 volt battery? Ribena, mmmm!
Contact Angel: How many of them can dance on the surface of a water droplet?
Nonofabrication: The new Zen technique of making structures so small you wonder if they even exist.
