Is ワープロ馬鹿 (word-processor idiot) the most common term for someone who can create kanji using an IME, but not by hand? I've used the term a couple of times, but the other person apparently hadn't heard of the term, even after I explained it in English.
for Sn = the unit n sphere in Rn+1, and Bn= the unit ball in Rn, why is CSn homemoprhic to Bn, where for topological space T, CT is the quotient topology (TxI)/(Tx{0}) (C is the 'cone' operator)
this is possibly the strangest thing i've ever heard
I would like to bring in a different point of view which was wrongly marginalized because it does not suit political agendas.

@Flaw Distance = 距離, displacement = 変位, speed = 速さ, velocity = 速度. But I do not know other scalar/vector pairs. For example, I do not know a word (in either English or Japanese) for the absolute value of acceleration.
@AndrewGrimm ワープロ馬鹿 does not make sense to me. The suffix -馬鹿 often means a fanatic (probably because if someone is fanatical about something, he/she is stupid about anything else).

{-ず} and {-ぬ} are two alternatives to the negative form {-ない} / {-ません}. But I noticed that depending on the word, it's either {-ず} or {-ぬ} although it seems like some words can take both suffix. Some examples I have encountered:
-ず
知らず (lyric in song "touch" by Younha)
わからず (lyric in song "aisur...
"how does the Japanese language negate a proposition? whether at the sentence level, the phrase level, or the lexical level. what is the general hierarchy of negation operations?" i think would be a crowning question
Does the -ou / -you / -mashou (the "let's X") form have a negative counterpart? For example, how do I say "let's not X" for the following?:

I was reading the wikipedia page on "predicate," where it mentioned that in Japanese, the negative form of a verb is an adjective. I thought that this was too expansive a statement to be true, but what does the writer mean? Does the writer mean that only verbs in the ない form of the negative are ...
@Mechanicalsnail popularly... "seaweed" needs to have a larger-scale structure
actually... it looks like 'seaweed' is itself a loose colloquial term for algae with larger-scale structure... it's the term 'algae' that's misused popularly
haha "And don't fall for the bait and switch with Chinese or Japanese! They might tempt you with an exotic writing system, but after a few months you find out that the underlying language is pretty vanilla, and meanwhile there is a stack of three thousand flash cards standing in between you and the ability to skim a newspaper."
