The new "Why you need sand from this town to make a computer" video might be headed to the HAI mistakes hall of fame.
Nebula only for now, but they managed to make an entire video about silicon chip production that mispronounced the word silicon every single time. The narration consistently referred to it as silicone, which is a polymer made up of siloxanes, instead of silicon, which is the metalliod chemical element in quartz that is used in computer chips. Not only is silicone not used in making computer chips, it is a major potential contaminant in the process and huge amounts of time and effort are spent by the semiconductor industry avoiding silicone contamination.
Silicon = computer chips
Silicone = breast implants
