I hereby propose we make a workforce to rename all the stuff named after Euler.

It’s just horrible. What’s the difference between Euler’s relation and Euler’s ratio? What about Euler’s rule and Euler’s method? Do all of those only name a single thing? Who knows? Why does Google just replace half of them by their preferred Euler named stuff? Who knows?

    From up top, the bushes seem to be placed in the shape of a swastika.
    
    For no reason, apparently.

  We can call it the Euler Award for Excessive Achievement in Science. Or the Eulies if you’re in the industry. And we make a big deal about it if anyone pronounces is " the yoolies”

    Yep, I think the accepted English pronunciation of “Euler” is as a homophone of “oiler”, so the award would be “the oilies”. I never heard the name out loud as a kid so I pronounced it “you’-ler” until well into adulthood, until someone made a big deal about me not pronouncing it correctly. I remember the occasion very clearly 🙃

Every number is now Euler’s number.
