I dunno anymore, I have a near-total disregard for the formal rules of English, and my knowledge is entirely based on ~25+ years of accrued usage data. So it probably skews towards improper usage all too often.

Thank god (or whatever) that math is identical all around the world, slight notation differences aside. <3 math

It’s almost like people who’ve learned a language natively can tell you the grammatically correct phrasing for a sentence but can’t explain why because it’s so innate

Fascinating... thanks, Devac.

I wanna see stuff like Landau's handwritten proof for Landau damping. Or Boltzmann's notebooks. Stuff like that, to check their notations. Hell, even their penmanship and how many steps they showed in their derivations would be fascinating.
