Hah, I didn’t know it wasn’t. (not english native speaker)
Using that word misses out on the much more fun original name: Acetylsalicylic acid.
yeah, I get why “Aspirin” stuck
Even better. There’s a generic that just abbreviates the German word name of the active substance for its name: Acetylsalicylsäure
now that I can get behind!
