This really bugs me. To hear men advertise their ignorance by talking about " Niacin1 4 "
Time again for confusing Vitamin B3 with Nisan

It's because they don't know how to pronounce their own jargon. If you are going to use jargon, at least learn how to correctly pronounce it. And, "Nisan" is one that they use enough so that most of them should be able to pronounce it.
I could see someone that has zero experience with it, and is brand new in the cancer. (Like someone not knowing Lammus Day, or Astaroth, or Ashtar, because they never work around those terms.) But, when someone has been in the witless cancer for 30 years or more and flub up "Nisan" as "Niacin", they have a problem. It's called stupidity.

scotoma:
Yes, that gem used to make me laugh too. Unfortunately, the religion is filled with many poorly educated people. I used to cringe at having to listen to grown men do reading and sound like they are in fifth grade. There was a bookstudy I did not want to attend because the brother doing the reading was barely literate and I could not endure it, so I went elsewhere. Education in the U.S. is dumbed-down in general. In the JW religion, it is dumbed down even further. What can you expect from people who have been told by their religion that higher education is no good?

I somehow thought that Niacin was Vitamin B12.

It is pronounced "neesen" in Hebrew.
I remember an older Jewish sister always getting upset when people pronounced it Niacin.

Wait, are you talking about the Nissan 14 Roadster?
Okay, technically in 1935 it would have been called Datsun 14. But today it would be known as Nissan 14.
