I believe it comes from "chrism" - From Wikipedia: Chrism (Greek word literally meaning "an anointing"), also called "myrrh" (myron), holy anointing oil, or "consecrated oil", is a consecrated oil used in the Roman Catholic Church.
Sacred oil? I could see this conversation taking place: Justin, ...
"non-linear dimensionality reduction techniques, which has attracted lots of attention in scientific societies in the last decade, all believe...": 'non'-> 'Non', 'has'->'have', remove 'in scientific societies', who is 'all'? (maybe something like 'it is believed that...'.
What does 'separate each data' mean? (data is either plural or a singular mass noun, so 'each' doesn't work, maybe a set of data?) Also, do parameters separate data?
commas around 'the powerful tool "manifold learning"', factor-> factors, data > subsets of data (you can't just distinguish data all by itself, two things are distinguished), '...relationships _are...'. I don't see how non-linear methods are also ML follows from the prior clause.
@tchrist: I was just watching the latest episode of Silicon Valley in Spanish, and this female programmer was goofing on the rules of speech in her new company by asking if she could refer to her girlfriend "Cunty" . . . but they translate that in Spanish as "Zorra." Surely that doesn't carry the same profane weight, does it?
I thought Zorra (male: Zorro) just meant fox.
If that's all it means, then the comedy of that scene doesn't make any sense.
@Mitch Well, no. Actually my thesis is about dictionary learning methods, KSVD, AK-SVD, MOD and such... The abstract is not mine, I am writing my thesis proposal these days
@tchrist wait, does that mean that it was changed, sinice the approvers outvoted me?
also, isn't Josh61 just a dictionary bot? makes sense to me, his decision.
oh yeah, I didn't notice it said "approved." anyway, happened to my post once, but it wasn't even with such an unusual word—I just used the verb effect and someone had the brilliant idea that I meant affect (I suspect it was, in that case, the iPhone autocorrect bot thinking, well, this is a real word, but I bet he meant the other real word).

Meteo is Italian, and météo French, for weather forecast. Meteo is English for nothing. It is not an English word. But as a name it does not have to. You can call your application whatever you want. Absolutely anything you want. — RegDwigнt ♦42 secs ago
@ElendilTheTall but you can't know if a chocolate egg has a toy inside until you start consuming it. So to be on the safe side, all eggs are illegal, period.
