# in parts

It's making me cry. Honestly.

# chapters?
i'll have you know i did an a-level course without textbooks, thank you.

may be part of the underlying problem with my lack of maths now, mind.

# well centres of mass along a line = fine
centres of mass in shapes = i haven't got a fucking clue and it makes no bloody sense.
(I helped save b3ta! bananaman, Sun 12 Oct 2003, 22:10, archived)
# ahh
is that were you take a zero point, then split the complex shape into simple shapes, multiply the centre co-ordinate of each shape by its mass, sum them, and divide by the total mass?

hope so.

# no
as it's an acronym, it made more sense to include each word - and "your" would only be correct if it was followed by "all gay"
(I helped save b3ta! JustHere4Coffee remembers when all o' this were car parks, Sun 12 Oct 2003, 21:55, archived)
# technically...
...it's not an acronym, as the letters of an acronym should form a new word.

Fuck... I hate being a pedant, but b3ta has brought out that side of me.

# ah
I wasn't sure, I thought that might be the case but decided to risk it

abbreviation then?
(I helped save b3ta! JustHere4Coffee remembers when all o' this were car parks, Sun 12 Oct 2003, 21:59, archived)
# I think...
..it's just an abbreviation.

I reserve the right to be pendantic about things without having to know the real answers too.

# well of course
that's only natural - you can't be expected to know what's right as well as what's wrong!
(I helped save b3ta! JustHere4Coffee remembers when all o' this were car parks, Sun 12 Oct 2003, 22:02, archived)
# Actually...
...I take it all back. It is an acronym.

"An acronym is a label formed from the beginnings of words (Greek: acro [head] and nym [word]) -- or very rarely, from letters in the middle of words. There is no requirement that an acronym be pronounceable as a normal word (this is a curious myth perpetuated by American dictionaries): IBM is just as much an acronym as LASER."

"american" - that explains everything ;)
