Amazing
@Amanda84 Derry Girls introduced me to this wordΒ π
@MIcentric90 one of the best shows ever :) :)
@Amanda84 I agree. It's one of my favorites. I often have it running in the background when I am doing my chores.
One of my favorites is anemoia, or feeling homesick/nostalgic for somewhere you've never been. I never get to use it but it resonates with me.
@BlatantHonestyΒ Obelus. It isΒ the name of the symbol Γ·Β (used to represent division)
Whaaat no way!!!
@GreenLime3141Β Yes!Β The obelus (Γ·) originally comes from the Greek word obelos, meaning a small pointed object. Though some argue that the symbol used to be a part of the Egyptian heiroglyphs. It was at first used by ancient scholars to mark doubtful or incorrect text. Then inΒ the middle ages, scribes used it to indicate separation. Then the Swiss mathematician Rahn introduced it as a division symbol in his algebra book and it stuck. Okay there is another debate that it was the English mathematician Pell who introduced Rahn to obelus. Though today , it isΒ mostly replaced by the fraction bar (/) but itβs still common in basic arithmetic (which i absolutely loathe)
Wait did you know all of that from your head?
@GreenLime3141 Yesβ¦ To be honest, I looked it up a few weeks ago when my baby brother asked... Whatβs that symbol?...Β I told him it was for division, and then he asked if it had a name like "asterisk" (He's a genius kid, I am a proud sister)βwhich we had just learned about a few days earlier. So... I looked it up, found the word, read the historyβ¦ I might have mixed up some of the scientistsβ names, but I think the rest is right. Iβll probably forget most of it by next month...Β but Iβll remember the obelus part!
Is it
OB el iss or
OWE bell iss
or something else?
