So tell us how, exactly, isopropyl alcohol (known in North America as
rubbing alcohol) is denatured. Keep in mind that this word means that
the substance was changed in some way from its "natural" state (e.g.,
adding methanol to ethyl alcohol to make denatured alcohol).

We're waiting.

Denaturing is the same worldwide. Quit dodging. You are wrong.

No, it ain't. That's the problem.

What is it with you guys that you can't accept that words have different
meanings in different parts of the English speaking world? So you use
"denatured" to mean "other than its pure state". So what does that
prove? It certainly doesn;t prove that "both are denatured." It only
proves that Ozzies would call both denatured. Which is OK by me, if
that's the way you want it. But if you want to be understood by people
who use the words differently, you have to explain what you mean.

BTW a_a_a, all commercially available wine is denatured by your Ozzie
definition. It's all mixed with water to bring it to some standard
percentage of ethanol, as decided by the vintner. That's because of
trade laws that require labelling of alcohol (ethanol) content, and
regulations that allow little variation from what's stated on the label.
I don't know about your legalities, but here tax on alcoholic beverages
is tied to the alcohol content.

Wolf, I got my education in the USA and denaturing is denaturing. Why
can't you accept that? The words are even spelled alike. See that?

DENATURING = DENATURING worldwide.
