I am making a grommet . . . it will be made from Silicone Rubber . . . I am in the "Material" dialog and see "Silicon Rubber".  Google searching the Internet for "silicon rubber" comes-up with a zillion hits related to "silicone rubber" (the only kind I'd ever known existed), and at the top of the hit list is the link for: Showing results for silicone rubber . . . because there is no such thing as Silicon Rubber . . . . yes, silicone contains silicon (and other elements), but the two are not the same.  Integrated Circuits (ICs) are made from silicon, but not silicone.  Synthetic rubber is made of silicone, but not silicon.

Can you please fix your dialog for material selection (and wherever else the word might be used in SW) to spell the material correctly?

Thanx.
