      Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized

      • It just sounds weird

        Still technically correct, but weird.

        Reminds me of how foreign spies were caught during the cold war because they couldn’t pronounce certain words or formulate sentences with words in a customary order

          Yes comrade, clearly any pure blooded, land of freedom American, would know that un-ionized is not correct. It is instead union-ized… which is what happens when you cut onions.
