I suppose saying “natural log” invalidates the last limerick - I’ll allow it.

It’s common to just use “log” in pure math, since nobody uses the base 10 log.
barsoap@lemm.ee 5 months ago
And everyone just uses “log” in CS because noone cares about the base.
hobovision@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Fair. Logs are natural unless otherwise specified. You wouldn’t put log(37) if you wanted base 10, you’d do log_10(37).
Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Instead of “Is the log” maybe you could say “Is nat-log”?
theroastedtoaster@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or just pronounce it “lawn” like all my calculus instructors did

“is natty log of the cube root of e”

The rest is standard or at least common, IMO | is pipe and {} braces. * is often called asterisk or star but splash is just better. And # is most definitely not “hashtag”. Here’s an overview of what’s out in the wild.

Why does “kicking it up a notch” have to entail completely butchering the meter?

Not a fan of the second one. The first line doesn’t have enough syllables and the whole rhyme scheme requires that you mispronounce Z.

Zee was zee long before posh English twats decided to say zed.

Zed technically came first. Greek Zeta -> French Zede -> English Zed.
But I’ll do anything to get away from French influence on my language
Wilzax@lemmy.world 5 months ago
“mispronounce” Z. Yeah no, anyone who calls it “Zed” are the ones mispronouncing it. Z rhymes with G, P, and V in the alphabet song. End of story.

While I am part of the ‘zed’ group, there is no “correct” pronounciation for anything because it all depends on accent and culture. Just embrace the diversity.

4 + (6! - 0.5(12^2 + (403 + 1))) = 2(15^2)
Four plus the difference between The factorial of six and the mean Of twelve squared and four Hundred three (plus one more) Equals double the square of fifteen.
