It would eliminate a lot of confusion, I think.

"That sounds like water", was my first thought. I didn't do well in science lessons at school, so I'd not really know. My logic began with "2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen" and ended here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax Very cool!!!!! Di-hydrogen monoxide… “That sounds like water”, was my first thought.

Not so much the comic (it was funny though), but the comment. That's crazy how that works. I've gotta try that in my comic someday. Don't know how, or when, in fact I'll probably forget to use preantepenultimate, but I love it. I love it a lot. Gosh I loved that. Not so much the comic (it was funny though), but the comment.

On a related issue though, who can tell me what Di-hydrogen monoxide is, and why it would be related to this whole Bi / semi confusion... :D Hmm, I could do another Bi joke, but its just too easy at this point.

Yeah, I completely missed the environmental cues that the penultimate panel's policeman was the partner on the other end of the line. Now I feel kinda dumb and want to say sorry back.
