…but it is amid, not amin, no? Why do you call it acetaminophen instead of acetamidophen?

  Nope it’s amin according to Google.
  
  That’s what I ask. The name is “acetaminophen”, but compound doesn’t have amino-group and instead had amido-group.
  
  IUPAC calls it as what it is: N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

    Idk I’m not a chemist. I thought the whole point of scientific standards was that everyone used the same name/units but we don’t even spell meter right in the states.
