May 9, 2014 14:57
Speaking of the word prejudice, I think it is overused these days. What most people do, however, is a generalization.
May 9, 2014 14:54
@KitFox Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm doing in my thesis. For a moment, I was thinking about saying mentioned or discussed as it could be more convenient as it is a thesis. Dunno... Anyway, thanks!

hey guys, how does "while the key features and differences are pointed out" sound to you? Semantically, when I describe something, it is not really stressing/pointing out, is it?
Apr 22, 2014 23:05
What is wrong with "Walter P. Stanley, III found all the old records of the Bangor Lions Club after years of (them) being lost under a pile of dust" then?
Apr 22, 2014 23:02
@RedDwigнt What would grammaticians you speak about say instead? "Walter P. Stanley, III, left, found all the old records of the Bangor Lions Club after years of being lost under a pile of dust"? I think it is better to put the after part at the very beginning to stress the meaning. Dunno though...
Apr 22, 2014 23:02
@RedDwigнt Thanks! I had to look up "dangling modifier" firstly :-). There is a pretty similar Wikipedia's example "After years of being lost under a pile of dust, Walter P. Stanley, III, left, found all the old records of the Bangor Lions Club."

(I'm writing an abstract for my thesis and this sentence does not seem natural to me, although I don't know how to say it better.)
Apr 22, 2014 22:17
Hello! How does "After defining ABC from practical point of view, an emphasis is put on..." sound to you? Is it both gramatically (should be) and especially semantically correct?

I'm just creating MWE to put it on SE. It is a bit complicated considering I want to have colored borders around other references.
May 3, 2014 23:20
That is beyond my current knowledge. I had thought about groups though :-).
May 3, 2014 22:53
(and in the same time linkbordercolor={0 1 1}, so turning off colors isnt option either.)
May 3, 2014 22:51
is not
May 3, 2014 22:51
howdy! Do you guys know if there is any way to put citebordercolor = false within hyperref package? I want border around citations invisible. Using rgb for white colour is really the solution.

Are your long codes (>2000 rows) warning-less?
Apr 20, 2014 06:20
hey guys, what do you think about using \mathcal for vectors and matrices? I don't like bolding as it highlights the text way too much.
Mar 20, 2014 19:35
@JosephWright thanks, I've just done that.
Mar 20, 2014 19:08
Or maybe just respond and wait for the possible reactions?
Mar 20, 2014 19:07
hey guys, I found a solution to my question, which is imho better than the recommended ones. Should I respond on my question and accept it as the right answer? :-) Seems weird.
Feb 17, 2014 11:37
Hey guys, should I unaccept an answer when another user suggested more elegant solution?
Feb 17, 2014 01:30
anyway, using \section*{} in appendix doesn't work, better said it hides section from ToC (that's good), but it deforms its name, i.e. instead of wanted A.1 Name of section it just shows Name of section.
Feb 17, 2014 01:28
@Speravir :))
Feb 17, 2014 01:27
@Speravir yep, I know.
Feb 17, 2014 01:22
@Speravir I tried to google. I'm not that stupid.
Feb 17, 2014 01:19
@TorbjørnT. yep, that works, now I have to find out how to prevent ToC from showing sections of an appendix.
Feb 17, 2014 01:12
I devote one of my appendices to source codes and I think it could be useful to distinguish between them somehow.
Feb 17, 2014 01:11
Hi there, do you guys know if there's anything like subappendix?
Feb 6, 2014 00:45
@tohecz That would be cheating.
Feb 6, 2014 00:35
@percusse Don't tell me you would keep this one gravatar.com/avatar/… - like it's not even my fault, they should have given me a better avatar!
Feb 6, 2014 00:29
How come my default avatar looks pretty lame compared to percusse's one?
Feb 6, 2014 00:22
@percusse I'm all for voting!
