It's more usually called a burette.
That's how I spell it too, but the other spelling is also valid.
Not 'ere, it ain't... I'm sure it is elsewhere, though. Anyway, if you spell it "buret", how can you have fun writing about "invert the brunette", etc. etc.? The pronunciation is completely wrong.

So OK as long as the poster was on sci.chem but not from uk.d-i-y. I'd say he should have noticed that the language used here was English ... ;-)
The pronunciation of "tit ration" is wrong too :-)
England and the United States - two countries divided by a common language ...
White spirit (substitute) is also an option, which also works to thin it into a paint-like substance.

Exactly. I still prefer the use of 'mol' (der. Norw. 'mål') rather than 'mole', among a lot of other idiosyncrasies.
Even in technical English, the British seem to be taught a totally different system. Why use one concise word when forty pages can be used?
And, the Americans lean toward writing five words on the back of a paper napkin.
That's OK. I missed the translation for uk.d-i-y though. ;-)
As one should have guessed with the mangling that is 'causticized'. ;-)
'sok, at least he's retained his SOH (so far).
Is silicone an "oil"? I thought (but I'm no expert) that silicone belonged to a rather separate class of compounds. See this link:
OTOH it may be that the spray I have used is made up of other lubricating compounds and it may be those which are not being removed.
