I am a Spanish word without the accent.

AZTTT Sep 28, 2005	Nice. I got it, but only by accident I need to brush up on my elements well written
redraptor50 Sep 28, 2005	Great one, I didn't know that one, tried to go through all the elements in my mind.
Kal-El Sep 30, 2005	Darn. Stumped me. If I knew about silicon BEFORE I looked at this teaser, I probably would've gotten it. I give it a
hotgreen Sep 30, 2005	hope u ppl like this teaser
paintballa944 Oct 02, 2005	It was a really good one buddy

Winner4600 Oct 07, 2005	Very good, I got it after I read the hint...
puttaholic Oct 25, 2005	I only know like the first 20 elements, so this one got me it was very interesting, though
bookworm91 Nov 09, 2005	well i cheated and looked at the table of elements. but that was well written. good clues! keep 'em up.
rkaaland Nov 11, 2005	AWSOME you got me
drussel3 Nov 21, 2005	Clever.
jman0116 Nov 25, 2005	very unique, despite its easiness. note that si without an accent is also a spanish word, meaning "if"
TheEarthling Dec 11, 2005	Easy! I got it straight away, without referring to a periodic table. It's a great teaser though.
Warrior_Poet Jan 12, 2006	Pretty good teaser, pretty easy.
Jerrythellama May 20, 2006	Si without an accent mean "if" in spanish. Just so you know
doehead Jun 25, 2008	For unknown reasons I was completely lost on this one.Didn't realize silicon was that old.Wonder when it was first used for enhancement purposes?
katamaster Jun 25, 2008	As a Spanish speaker, I was thinking of te (Spanish for tea) which is the symbol for tellurium. But I guess it was discovered way after 1824. Good one.
bradon182001 Jun 25, 2008	This was really good. A lot of thought went into the making of this teaser. Thanks for posting.
auntiesis Jun 25, 2008	I was totally lost.
iluvwhitesox22 Jun 25, 2008	si without an accent is still a word in spanish, if.
lisapc Jun 25, 2008	My mind just wasnt in it today. It ws a mental teaser for sure though.
mi2mo2tx Jun 25, 2008	Cute and easy - my kind of teaser!! Gracious!
UptheHill Jun 25, 2008	Como No!
Marianogf777 Jun 25, 2008	It was kind of a good teaser, but you need to take some Spanish class right away. "Si" does not necesarily have an accent in order to be in agreement... Espero que el próximo te salga un poco mejor, saludos.
avonma Jun 25, 2008	I didn't get it. I still don't get it. I get the "si" and "is" but the clues don't all go together. Something's not right. Sorry.
SweetPotato Jun 25, 2008	The hint didn't help me ... it said "Check the title" and the title is The Element of Agreement. The only symbol I see there is "Ag" which is silver, and that's not a Spanish word that I know of, nor is the reverse a verb. What am I missing here?
TableElbows Aug 28, 2009	Would go better in language than science
gaylewolf Jun 25, 2011	Hablo espanol pero no comprende las elementes. I hope DH leaves a word or two here - his comments are always used for enhancement purposes!
Candi7 Sep 04, 2012	si with an accent=yes si without an accent=if
