It doesn't
Cause they're all basic bitches and acid will make them salty.
To an average person, an extremely reactive alkaline substance would also just be called an acid. It doesn't matter that it's scientifically incorrect terminology; to your typical pleb, if it's a liquid that makes a hole in the floor then it's an acid.
I guarantee OP is 15 yo and who just finished up chem I.
bases are more worse towards flesh than acids i heard
Because nobody connects anything to the other side. As this guy said, if something makes holes/eats matter very fast, you immideately think acid. You don't think whether it's acidic or alkaline or whatever. It's not important, because the term "acid" tells you "a dangerous substance", not "lower than 7 ph".
why do some people assume perhaps you before you got learnt
underrated
Not true, corrosive is the other word and it rather common.
