Maybe so. But this discussion is making me realize part of the reason I dislike ECD: this positional notation. It's not that position is difficult for me in general terms, because that's a lot of MWSD, but something about the "corners" notation I find difficult (I also have difficulty with contra corners). I wonder how many other people have similar difficulty and to what extent this accounts for the ECD/contra divide. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
