The "-ol" ending, in chemistry, usually indicates some type of alcohol: ethanol, methanol, xylitol, erythritol, etc. Fentanyl, by contrast, is not an alcohol at all, so illiterates need to stop pronouncing it "fentanol." As always, dumb mistakes like this suck out all dignity and make seemingly smart people sound stupid, which means they end up on my Dunning Kruger blacklist. Stop it, guys. Just stop. Don't be like the supposedly "educated" lady on "Politically Incorrect" who, years ago, couldn't say heinous, which she pronounced as "HEY-nee-us."
Fucking up in public is never good. Especially when the error is avoidable.
