I once had a horrible work-related mishap with such substance. It was some eight years ago. I was a sandwich peddlar, working my way through my high school senior year. One day, near my work station, I hear a loud crash and hiss. A complex piece of machinery had suffered a breach in a pressure-bearing vessel. This apparatus took dangerous dihydrogen monoxide and mixed it with poisonous carbon dioxide gas in order to produce carbonic acid. It was this acid that was being spewed out of the breached vessel at high speed in a fine spray. And I was the worker ordered to approach the broken machine and ascertain the level of damage.
I was forced to endure a steady showering of carbonic acid as I endeavoured to locate some sort of cutoff valve. The substance rained upon me, soaking into my clothing and clinging to my skin. The horror of the experience stays with me to this day. :(

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
