Technically Oxygen and Hydrogen have the wrong names, as Oxygen means "Acid-forming" whilst Hydrogen means "Water-forming" and the name Oxygen was given when it was believed that all acids had Oxygen in them, and as Hydrogen was discovered by splitting water, it was given the name Hydrogen. Now, it is now known that all acids actually contain Hydrogen (Hydrochloric Acid or HCl has no Oxygen) so what we call Hydrogen should actually be called Oxygen and thus what we call Oxygen should actually be called Hydrogen. Opinions?
such a common tale
