Ah shit, serves me right for posting off the cuff...
Though that is also a thing.
Don't sweat it too much, I think most people struggle with silicon vs silicone. Silicon is the hard stuff used in computer chips, silicone is the soft stuff used in sex toys and boob implants.
A few mnemonic devices that might help you remember which is which:
SiliCON is a semi-CONductor, silicone is not.
(expanded version of the previous) SiliCON is very CONventient when used in computers due to its properties as a semi-CONductor.
Madonna has silly cones.
On the last one, I have no idea if Madonna has breast implants or not, and quite frankly I don't really care. However, I do know that she has/had a fairly infamous outfit that included a cone-shaped bra. As such, the train of thought goes silicone -> silly cone(s) -> Madonna had silly cones -> breasts -> breast implants.
