In English the tool for chopping down trees is spelled axe. Just letting you know since youâre multilingual and I assume English isnât your first language.
Comment on Sheep đ

I just checked and every single textbook I own that contains a reference to this transformation uses an image of a sheep. Sadly all of my textbooks are in English. If I had any relevant texts in German or Spanish I doubt that they would makes this connection.
On an less relevant note one of the books introduces the idea of change of basis with a joke about labeling axes and has several different types of ax with corresponding labels attached and I find that to be a much worse joke.

English is my first language. Ax and axe are used interchangeably. Theyâre both correct.

I guess because itâs absurd youâll remember it easier.
Kind of how people can recall a deck of cards playing placing people doing an action to an object in familiar places. Itâs the absurdity that makes you remember.

The reason itâs easier to remember for humans is a double edged sword. If you accidentally type in text fields which donât mask input, itâs easier to memorize for someone paying attention.
