In many instances you see Analytical Chemistry and Anorganic Chemistry put together and abbreviated to AA-Chemistry. To call it general chemistry would be one bridge too far even though the argument seems logical. How do the others feel about it? [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]] 19:09, 1 February 2007 (CST)
