    Hi pnemonoultramicroscopicsillicovolcanoconiosis,
    I actually updated my profile earlier today and fixed that mistake in my joke, lol! 🙂
    Yes, well spotted – losing an electron does make the atom an ion, a cation in fact.
    And nice username! Did you choose it because its the longest English word or because you’re interested in disease names?
