How many did you list, 5 if I'm right? And that is for the whole of the US?
One single mine in Sweden (Ytterby) has 4 elements dicovered and named
after it, and 4 more discovered at the same place but named after
other Swedish locations or persons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ytterby

I clarified my mistake. Everyone decided to continue to gleefully pounce on me after I corrected my mistake. This is worse than nitpicking


"Anyway... Can you, without looking it up, describe the original definition
of the Fahrenheit scale? I think that the definition for 0 and 100 deg C
is well known to anyone, and very simple to reproduce and test. And both
points can be easilly refered to in everyday life.

"So what did 0 deg F and 100 deg F refered to when that scale was made up?
Without looking it up..."

Here he's either mixing up part of my two statements (I said F was useful. About manufactured elements I only said US is the leader), or, more likely, deliberately being dishonest. Talk about running out of arguments!!! As I said before, you don't need to know 32 and 212 and 0 and 100 to use F and C. Does Jan know offhand the origin of all the other SI and metric units? I doubt it.

My God. All I said is that F is useful for normal ordinary everyday use by laypeople. And then I get pounded on with endless irrelevant nonsense.

So when _I_ point out nitpicking and running out of arguments, suddenly there's a problem.
