What it should say is Basic to Acidic (Basic being the correct term as opposed to Alkaline). I will amend it now.

Great wright up mate, I did spot a couple of spelling mistakes but I'm a fine one to talk.

I can't help but see the irony in you making a spelling mistake in that sentence.
I think you mean 'Great write up mate.....'

not wanting to sound like alecr over on VOD, but the word is BASE. BASS is the name of a brewery and also the term for a low frequency signal.
And a fish,you should know that living where you do  ;D

bass? we cant afford to eat bass down here. that for the visitors. mackerel for the locals.

That's a new one on me ... so acidic is to basic as acid is to base, then?

Not disputing the correctness of it's use, but as many will be struggling with the whole chemistry thing (as I do!), would it be better to use terminology that's in common usage?  Just one less thing that Muppets like me wouldn't have to work out!

Funnily enough, I originally wrote Alkaline when writing the article then corrected it because I though that, if I didn't somebody would point out that it was not the right word.
To cover all bases (excuse the pun) I have now changed it to say Basic (Alkaline) conditons.

Sometimes I can be subtle, other times I just can't spell, but you know that by now.

The important bit is it makes sense to the common man.
