Technical language

Kind of short on reviews.

This isn't really a review. It's a correction of mispronunciation, and I couldn't find anywhere else to post it. When Ziva is talking about the charcoal filter, she pronounces "ethanethiol" "ETH-a-NETH-iol." It's "ETH-ayn-THI-ol": ethane (natural gas) with sulfur substituting one of the hydrogens. "-thiol" is the suffix for sulfur substitution. Minor point which nobody else noticed or, if they did, didn't consider it important enough to mention. Forgive an old chemist.

Trivia
The Hebrew words spoken by Ziva over Rivkin's body in the autopsy room are "Baruch dayan emet" - Blessed is the True Judge. This is the traditional Jewish blessing said immediately after a death.

Goofs
Ziva says Mossad uses a tactic of placing activated charcoal filters soaked in ethanethiol over cut gas lines to mask the smell. This does not make any sense, charcoal filters can absorb odors but not enough to mask the odor of natural gas. And adding ethanethiol would not help, it would do the direct opposite as ethanethiol is the chemical that gives natural gas its strong and unpleasant odor.
