[edit] Chloroacetic acids

Hi Conrad. I reverted your edits to chloroacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid. You changed the IUPAC names to chloroethanoic acid and dichloroethanoic acid, respectively, which are in fact incorrect. See http://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/93/r93_705.htm for the rule. Acetic acid is the preferred IUPAC name, an exception to the rule (and there are many exceptions), with unlimited substitution allowed.

Don't let this discourage you from editing, though! Why not join Wikipedia:Wikiproject Chemistry and contribute to more chemistry articles on Wikipedia?

See you around
