And here I always thought the P in pH stood for Phenopthalein!
(Phenopthalein is what is used to make a fancy kind of litmus paper
that, instead of only turning red or blue, changes to a color from a
continuous range from red to white so as to indicate the precise level
of acidity or otherwise of a liquid.)
