there is actually a molecule called fucitol.
i'm not kidding about this. i saw it in a wikipedia entry about glycerine as a related molecule.
C6H14O5.
g'head. look it up.
i'm sure they pronounce it "FEW-si-tol" or something like that, but still.
fucitol!
you're welcome.

naturally, the minute you saw it, you started to experiment with pronunciations. As one would.
That one took me a minute (up at 4:30 this morning). But then I laughed.
I do not at all put it past chemists to have named it that especially, then told everyone they were pronouncing it wrong.
