>>13052470I do appreciate your response clarifying people's modern use of the word "distilled". In it's original, chemical sense, it means something different from how that word is used by you and others. However all I'm saying is that's not what "distilled" means from a chemical perspective. In chemistry if you say "distilled water" - you literally referring to unadulterated 100% H2O, which ISN'T DRINKABLE ( I mean if you're dying in the Sahara you would gladly drink it and it would save you, but it would still taste like shit - not something you'd do on a daily basis). The process you are referring to, called "distillation" is used in a colloquial sense, as it only removes SOME of the minerals and kills the bacteria etc. (I guess because in the area where one might live there can indeed be a need for such a thing). But AGAIN "distilled water is 100% pure H2O which is disgusting to drink - like you wouldn't be able to - go ahead and buy pure H2O and try it. But thank you for letting me know how the word "distilled" is used for today.
