I've always seen Tc on the periodic table and remembered Technecium since I began learning chemistry about 7-8 years ago, now I find out that
"apparently" this has never been a thing. (unless your a Czech which I'm not)
Am I crazy?
Are we living in a simulation and nobody patched my brain along with everyone else's?
Which one did your guys hear first?

Technetium, unless you've considered the Mandela Effect

I'd never heard of the Mandela effect. it was entertaining, funny and worrying to read about, thanks.

I guess it all comes down to what language you are using.

If you stick with Tc you can't go wrong!

Why not both? Just hybridize and call it technectium! :O)

Technécium in Slovakia

Definitely a case of the Mandela effect. You always assumed it was technecium because of the symbol being Tc and the fact that it is pronounced that
way. But I distinctly remember it as technetium because when I used to ogle the periodic table as a youngster, without any influence to the contrary,
I read it as tech-NET-i-um. It wasn't until much later that I learned how it was actually pronounced.

The Mandela Effect was named that because there existed a whole bunch of people who seem to remember Nelson Mandela having died in the 1980s.
Everyone seemed to have the same exact memory, except of course, that Nelson Mandela didn't die until much later. Some people seem to think that this
means we're living in a parallel universe or something. I personally think they were all just confusing Nelson Mandela and Stephen Biko, who died
during the 1980s under circumstances remarkably similar to how people seem to remember "Nelson Mandela" dying.
The truth is that people tend to form memories in similar ways, and the gaps in these patterns can lead to mass collective false memories.
