ditto what he said!!!

Hypo is fixer. Hypo is for both film and paper.

Hypo Clear is not fixer. Hypo Clear can be used after hypo, to reduce the remaining hypo and thus reduce wash times.

Referring to Hypo Clear by calling is hypo, is just plain wrong and misleading to others.

Please use terminology correctly.

save water, use a clearing agent! for film AND paper... it makes a difference for both.

sodium thiosulfate was originally called hyposulfate of soda ( hypo )
it is not the same compound as speed fixer which is now, most commonly used
as fixer ...

so, while hypo is used for both film and prints it really depends what you are talking about
because speed fixer, what is now sold as fixer, is high capacity and FAST is commonly suggested
to be "hypo" .... its not the same thing ... and if you were playing some sort of wacky trivia game
and you just said "fixer" when asked " what is hypo" you might get it wrong .. ammonium thiosulfate is speed fixer ...

just thought of someting ...
maybe its called hyposulfate of ammonium so, its still called hypo?

Hoaks, meaning hoax - but I'll assuming you're being facetious about climate change, being that it's entirely undeniable at this point. The only way one can flippantly deny climate change is to believe that every scientist from every country is involved in some kind of a global scam.

many people are in denial still best to leave them under their stone.
