Antimony?

I see this, and hear it, over and over.
And it always makes me look twice.

'Antimony', my dictionaries tell me, is a bluish metal.

=46or the intellectual contradiction pointed at by the word,
they give me 'antinomy'
which, I admit, is somehow less userfriendly in pronounciation,
but nevertheless...
