English Language & Usage: Multi-Layered Discourse Room

Except for those bastards who are all 'finite Hilbert spaces with a de Sitter notifications cohomology (whose scalar firms a non-associative quasi-division ring). Those guys are jerks.

I'm mostly just an idiot

Wait what, are you in the math room??

Mitch

Oops autocorrect, 'notifications' -> 'motivic'

Nope. I did that for @JasperLoy because he goes to the math room a lot and they can sometimes be ... One-tracked about their conversations instead of having fun.

I'm mostly just an idiot

1:23 PM

Oh okay, I am from the math room too!

Mitch

If I can make @JasperLoy lol out loud, I have completed my day.

You should have caught my mistake then

I'm mostly just an idiot

The thing you are talking about is 5th year math lol

Mitch

It's also nonsense.

I'm mostly just an idiot

Finite hilbert spaces is fine, but de sitter motivic cohomology is not fine.

Mitch

I thought the whole point to a Hilbert space is that it is infinite

Not infinite basis but...

I'm mostly just an idiot

1:26 PM

Well I don't know if you mean finite or finite dimensional

Mitch

Like vectors have infinite coordinates

I'm mostly just an idiot

Finite set certainly won't work

Infinite basii are a thing

Mitch

So are you a native speaker of English or are you learning?

I'm mostly just an idiot

I am a native English user, but I imagine that I have stopped improving my English passively. :D

Mitch

Ha ha. It's 'bases' also not pronounced 'baseez'

I'm mostly just an idiot

1:28 PM

Oh ha ha ha.

That is why I need this room.

Mitch

I ask because you said you wanted to learn better English. And I would not recommend that chat room for that. Too chaotic.

I'm mostly just an idiot

'I am a native English user, but I imagine that I have stopped the passive improvement of my English abilities'

Mitch

Is that in your SE profile?

I'm mostly just an idiot

@Mitch You can't start a sentence with and can you?

@Mitch No Ha Ha I was trying to improve my English use :D

Mitch

Ok we can help with English learning attitude

I'm mostly just an idiot

Is 'welldefined' allowed to be one word like that?

in Mathematics, 12 mins ago, by Tobias Kildetoft

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot Yeah, being welldefined is actually the most tricky here (and it is not hard)

Mitch

Starting a sentence with a conjunction is done all the time. Stylistically some people suggest you avoid it. Schoolteachers might say it is forbidden (but I doubt that)

I'm mostly just an idiot

in Mathematics, 16 mins ago, by Tobias Kildetoft

it is just a matter of showing that it is actually welldefined

He said it 3 times, 'welldefined'

terdon

Oh, wow, I thought @I'mmostlyjustanidiot was tchrist and was very confused.

Mitch

There's a treadmill of progress from two words to hyphenated to one word. I'm not sure where 'well-defined' is

I'm mostly just an idiot

Because the image is a little similar?

Mitch

1:36 PM

@terdon it would probably confuse @tchrist more

Image?

I'm mostly just an idiot

<- The little avatar thing

terdon

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot Yes, and he hangs out here.

I'm mostly just an idiot

Wait I don't know why you thought we were the same person :O

terdon

Anyway, unless "welldefined" has become acceptable jargon in math, no it's not one word but two.

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot Just the avatar. My bad.

Mitch

@terdon hyphenated right?

I'm mostly just an idiot

1:38 PM

Okay thanks @terdon (I thought your name was Tendon until at'ing you)

terdon

@Mitch Not even. I've only ever seen it as well defined.

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot Yeah, I get that a lot. My fault for choosing a username by hitting random keys in my 20ies.

I'm mostly just an idiot

@terdon It's a nice name considering its 'origin event'(is there a word for this)

terdon

Cheers

Mitch

Mine too!

I'm mostly just an idiot

@Mitch No.

Mitch

1:40 PM

Wait. Not the one you can see.

terdon

Well, I'll be damned. Looks like the hyphenated version is more common. I stand corrected:

Mitch

You guys are psychic, right?

terdon

I'm mostly just an idiot

@terdon Bam.

Mitch

I'm glad you looked that up for me. I was about to go check

I'm mostly just an idiot

1:41 PM

Is there a word for 'event that caused this'?

terdon

Weird though. I know I've read (and written) well defined very often in published papers. In biology, not math though.

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot cause

Mitch

'Well' is too ... weird? To stand alone

I'm mostly just an idiot

Like "It's a nice name considering its 'origin event'"

What would you replace 'origin event' with?

Mitch

Causation?

Causality?

Prime mover?

I'm mostly just an idiot

Origin maybe?

terdon

1:43 PM

@I'mmostlyjustanidiot origin

jinx!

I'm mostly just an idiot

Just origin

Mitch

Happening thingy?

terdon

Franz Ferdinand?

Listen to this song in completion is your challenge. It is a representative to vapor-wave genre. Have you heard of vapor-wave? I have no idea why the genre was named this

terdon

Well, I see both hyphenated and non hyphenated forms in google scholar but the hyphen seems more popular: scholar.google.gr/…

Mitch

@terdon notice the dip in well-defined and well defined in the late 2000's?

People are recognize the increasing chaos in math

terdon

Entropy is a bitch.

I'm mostly just an idiot

Why blame beautiful mathematics :)

Mitch

I blame the British
