What is the point of all this, other than to waste forum bandwidth?

You are absolutely right, paul cotter.

Go to work, come from work, watch sitcoms.

There's no reason to waste forum bandwidth.

Hi,

 - How Did You Go Bankrupt?

 - Two Ways. Gradually and Then Suddenly.



The same is true about getting old.

= = =

There is nothing more dreadful to an author than neglect; compared with which, reproach, hatred, and opposition, are names of happiness.

Let the Latin alphabet be presented like this:


b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v w x y z

a e i o u


0 - go/ g
1 - Juan/ h
2 - two/ t
3 - dree/ d
4 - four/ f
5 - vife/ v
6 - six/ s
7 - zeven/ z
8 - Kate/ k
9 - nine/ n


$ - bill/ b
@ - cat/ c
- - joint/ j
_ - low/ l
- - minus/ m
^ - power/ p
# - qhash/ q
/ - ratio/ r
~ - wave/ w
* - times/ x
? ! % & ' - why/ y


The numbers and signs get the consonants.

The vowels are reserved.

One can make syllables.


= = =   = = =   = = =


Let's have the Latin alphabet and the two signs ' and - .

The ' sign stands for a missing vowel (syllable), the - sign connects.

The missing vowel (e) is soft.




Let the odd vowel be stressed (or even)

and

the even vowel be

(e) or (i) / schwa and its soft opposite i /

or

a short vowel.

There isn't language - there is consciousness at work.

There is "Language" (naming): "British", "German", "French", ...

That is, "Language" is behaving.

and

(e) or (i) / schwa and its soft opposite i /

or

a short vowel.


This is too strong. Let's try the following:

e on an even position can be schwa or broad schwa (long or short);

g is hard, g' is soft;

Hi,

There are suspicious words in one's "Language":

foreign words;

made up (coined) words;

acid words;

...


moral (adjective, noun)
https://www.etymonline.com/word/moral#etymonline_v_18348

ethics (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/word/moral#etymonline_v_18348

ethic (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/word/ethic

noun, pronoun (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=noun

...


logarithm (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=logarithm


sine (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=sine

sinus (n.)
https://www.etymonline.com/word/sinus


Let's imagine a sector
/a geometric figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of a circle
of about 45 degrees

and

draw the perpendicular from top to bottom.

The right triangle is the POCKET - SINUS ~ JIBA (chord of an arc) ~ JAIB (pocket)

One sees Duck, the Other sees Rabbit.

One sees Chord, the Other see Pocket.

An Angle is a vertex and two rays, OR an Angle is a vertex, two rays AND the interior.

...

(plane) angle is an acid word
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

In Euclidean geometry, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays are also known as plane angles as they lie in the plane that contains the rays.
...

Euclid defines a plane angle as the inclination to each other, in a plane, of two lines that meet each other and do not lie straight with respect to each other. According to the Neoplatonic metaphysician Proclus, an angle must be either a quality, a quantity, or a relationship. The first concept, angle as quality, was used by Eudemus of Rhodes, who regarded an angle as a deviation from a straight line; the second, angle as quantity, by Carpus of Antioch, who regarded it as the interval or space between the intersecting lines; Euclid adopted the third: angle as a relationship.

...



radian (n.) is an acid word
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=radian

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/radian


The word radian is constructed as a Latin adjective.

And is used as a noun in English.

The quality of the radian angle is that its arc length is of 1 radius.


-an
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-an#English

-ane2
https://affixes.org/alpha/a/-ane2.html

- - -

Types of angles:

acute angle;

radian angle;

right angle;

obtuse angle;

strait angle;

reflex angle;

full rotation angle.

- - -

The magnitude of angles are measured in

degrees (the degree (a unit) as a measure),

radians (the radian (a unit) as a measure),

and

radii (radiuses)
/the radius (a unit) as a measure of the length of the arc of the angle




The arc length is a NUMBER times the Radius.

An arc with an arc length of 2 times pi times the radius is called a circle.


= = =

point

strait line

ray

line segment

length of a line segment / distance between two points

distance between a point and a strait line

distance between two parallel strait lines

arc
arc length is a number times the radius
that is, arc length is measured in radii

distance between two rays with common endpoint (vertex)
is
the arc length
