I’ve never seen the English word for “manganese” and thought it was some “manga” pun, like anime.

It’s kind of silly, too. The German word is even closer (“Mangan”), but I never realized the similarity.

Yes, but some genders can only exist in strict laboratory settings and often for only a very brief moment.

Aside, I like the implication that when things get hot and melty, though, folks end up being gender fluid.
