    I think the correct way to say it would be dihydrogen monoxide because theres two H atoms and one oxygen.

    According to wikipedia:

    Dihydrogen monoxide
    Oxidane
    Hydroxylic acid
    Hydrogen Hydroxide

    Take your pick, or just drink it :)

    iT IS Dihydrogen Monoxide.

    FYI....

    Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

    Reminds me, there was a Penn and Teller episode about these environmental nutcases, basically exposing them as know-nothing anti-capitalists, guising as caring for the environment.

    Anyhow, they (a stooge for Penn and Teller) ran a petition at one of these environmentalist rallies, asking people sign up for a ban on dihydrogen monoxide, since it was a chemical that seeped all through the environment and in certain doses could be straight up leathal.

    All signed the petition :D
