John,

I was slightly annoyed when I heard that element 113 on the periodic table of elements was almost called Japonium and they instead called it Nihonium. While I understand the reasoning, we almost had a "J" on the periodic table until some people decided otherwise, and that's what annoyed me. Maybe one day we will get a J or a Q; We were very close to a J.
I circled the element in question and was careful not to block out any other data for other elements in case anybody wanted to look at a version of the periodic table of elements with Nh circled. Thanks for your attention.

Best wishes,

-John

Addendum: I am a fool, the actinides are completely absent from this picture. This is an extremely embarrassing moment for me, and I apologize, however the main point of my first post still stands about the near-J addition.
