When it comes down to it "vinegar" is kind of getting too close to the n word

Anyone not saying "acetic acid" is committing a microagression

I hate to go all "ackchyually" on you, but vinegar is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid. Anyone not saying "a 5-8% solution of acetic acid" is committing a microagression. Pure acetic acid is referred to as "glacial" acetic acid, which is clearly cultural appropriation by northern Europeans.

I actually say acetic acid as often as I can because I am a dork
