[edit] Latin

A quick google search on the original latin name has led me to believe it might be more correct as "oleum vitrioli dulce" rather than "oleum dulcis vitrioli" in the article. Perhaps they are equivalent? Dolphin Cheese (talk) 19:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Curious George

Does curious george really belong in the section about precautions? That could be moved to the part about recreational use, it would be more fitting there.

[edit] Agreed on Curious George

The Curious George image in this article is Wikipedia at its most hilarious.

[edit] Synthesis and Reactions

Shouldn't there be a section on the synthesis and chemical reactions of all chemical substances? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.4.29.59 (talk) 02:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Ether Drinking

Perhaps the section on recreational use should contain information on "ether drinking". [1] Haligonian1 14:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I know how to pronounce ether, but how do you pronounce Diethyl? Is it DY-thill or dy-EE-thill?--Labine50 08:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It's "Di"-"ethyl". Think Princess "Di" and "Ethyl" Mertz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.113.98.3 (talk) 17:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Triple Point

Anyone know the triple point of diethyl ether or perhaps have access to its phase diagram? ++Arx Fortis (talk) 09:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
