    It just sounds weird

    Still technically correct, but weird.

    Reminds me of how foreign spies were caught during the cold war because they couldn’t pronounce certain words or formulate sentences with words in a customary order

      My favorite was how German spies in WW2 were easily caught because they’d just show up in beachside towns out of nowhere (right off the u-boat) in suits and carrying briefcases stuffed with cash.

      Yes comrade, clearly any pure blooded, land of freedom American, would know that un-ionized is not correct. It is instead union-ized… which is what happens when you cut onions.
