Re: hydroxylic acid?
I've seen H2O and HOH both in professional chemistry writings - which depends on whether the author want to emphasize exactly that yin/yang thing you mention, RAZD. And that ability to be both an acid and a base, while also being a solvent, is sure 'nuff fairly unusual. Anhydrous ammonia and hydrogen fluoride can do it, but I'll normally pick water over either of those.
