Building blocks are wooden cubes that small children play with. Building blocks are not any things that make up anything. I'd rather my biology teacher ask what the "monomers" of proteins are rather than the frickin' "building blocks." Apparently all the genius chemists have no better way to describe small things to us that make up other things than by using a child's plaything.
