RT @OEDonline: OED Word of the Day: adynaton, n.: http://t.co/Ky02UAQX - that is a really great word.

@AzaPrins It has been known. I won't name them here to save their blushes. (As it happens, more university friends of mine)

@AzaPrins AH, you have chosen the perfect route to domestic harmony. Can I suggest that one of you considers a career in patent law?

@AzaPrins We do get stuff in other languages, and it also helps with clients in those countries - we get clients all round the world

@AzaPrins It is very hard getting jobs as a proper chemist at the moment, so very best of luck!

I just heard "patent pending" on #dragonsden which is always interesting.

@AzaPrins I am sure - sounds lovely. I never made it to industry beyond summer jobs, but had lots of interviews!

@CanFieldNat @PrincessQuatris And I thought that #chemistry was difficult!

@PrincessQuatris I am new too - my blog is just 3 months old. Embarrassingly, my primary technical support comes from my mother @shelagh

@PrincessQuatris You can add a section to your blog with links and call it "blogroll".

@AzaPrins I can imagine they did. Where were you at AZ? (A University friend of mine ended up at Loughborough)

@AzaPrins A chemist who speaks more than the one language (their native one) is a pretty rare beast, in the UK at least

@AzaPrins So you are bit of a language star yourself! #lightunderbushel

Now settling down for another fix of #DragonsDen Will there be any #patents or other #IP?

@AzaPrins You make it sound like you are fake Portuguese! (Don't speak Portuguese, but Spanish was my first and still best foreign language)

@AzaPrins Yes I knew you were at QM, so assumed that was why you were in area. QM also does the law course that trains patent attorneys...

@AzaPrins @Ritofle And what is country of origin?

@AzaPrins By the way, your Tweets say Tower Hamlets. Did I mention I live in Whitechapel?

@AzaPrins I look forward to meeting @Ritofle but in the meantime have followed. I see we have twitter friends in common (as well as you)

@AzaPrins When you have done all the others they start you on Russian. Well that was in the '80s. Now I expect it is Chinese. Or Arabic.

@AzaPrins I didn't have much of a life when I was at school so ended up studying lots of languages.

@AzaPrins Ah but I don't any more; a problem since a Russian man starts to decorate my flat tomorrow. Reverting to sign language.

@AzaPrins Speaking Japanese would be more impressive if it had not resulted in my no longer being able to speak Russian ;-)

@AzaPrins I travelled a bit but not as much as you would expect: inside Japan it was expensive, and I was not permitted to leave the country

@AzaPrins If you get the chance to visit, DEFINITELY do. You are right that work/life balance is poor but so, surprisingly, is productivity

Hello to the @NakedScientists from Whitechapel, London. Long may they live! #savethenakedscientists

Been enjoying reading new blog of @PrincessQuatris at http://t.co/YsVK9YzS - see I can like things other than #chemistry

@the_distillate Oh and I am sure I have been told about commas and vocatives by yet another pedantic intellectual property type! Ooops.

@AzaPrins [checks no-one is listening] I don't think I could live in Japan again, but I love going back for visits of a couple of weeks

@PrincessQuatris I am also interested in communication to the public, but in my case chemistry... (In work I am a patent attorney)

@PrincessQuatris Loving your blog which I am just reading - will add to my blogroll (I am http://t.co/mkcA0jh5)

@AzaPrins Well chemistry would be better but pharmacy is also a nice subject. We have an office in Bath but they are all electronic types!

@the_distillate I am falling about laughing. Editor edit thyself!

@the_distillate it is not just you and my friend @Ipkat regularly tweets his editing howlers and repeat offenders.

I have déjà vu @Ipkat RT @the_distillate: Why would you use the word 'utilize' when 'use' will do just as well? #copyediting

@AzaPrins wonderful to hear #fingerscrossed here too. If I can provide any guidance pls ask her to get in touch. Email address is on blog.
