[Sa'ar Chasm]

I think we're getting to the point where the "most desired scifi invention" is a universal translator/dictionary/Encyclopedia Galactica/etc. that contains a unified set of terms.

We already have that. It's called IUPAC (the Internation Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

You say "Master's of Science" as M.Sc.? Never saw that one before. Around here, it's either M.S. for master of science or M.(abbreviation of the major)

Actually, the front page of my thesis said "Master of Science". I had to check it against somebody else's thesis to make sure.
