[edit] Inconsistencies
Why is this page filled with so many many inconsistent spellings of haemoglobin? We should spell it either 'haemoglobin' or 'hemoglobin' throughout, and then make reference to the alternate spelling only in an opening paragraph. Personally, I feel 'haemoglobin' is probably the best to use throughout, and I was pleased to see that the title was spelt as such. I feel that this spelling reflects both the correct pronunciation of the word (otherwise we would say HEM-o-globin, like the 'hem' of a skirt) and reflects the internationally accepted form of the word. So far as I know 'hemoglobin' is merely an Americanism. JoeNorris3K
