Steve, you write: *I'm still harping on "bent" as it implies that something was "meant to be straight is deformed by some process or force"?. *
Oh, I misapprehended the critique. Yeah, *bent* like *normie* where there is a whole context and a basis for comparison. However *bent,* unlike *normie,* is relegated to a supporting role. I suppose this is why we came to speak of *geodesics* in the first place, you had already mentioned this too it seems in your writings on cartographic projections and *great circle routes*. *flying, levitating, soaring, running, jumping, seven-leaguing, swimming, swinging from branches, spidermanning, surfing, skiing, skating, tumbling, etc.* Ha, a very nice list. I had to look up *seven-leaguing*, though *spidermaning* gave me nostalgia for staring out of car windows on long road trips as a small child. I would fantasize that some humanoid was *spidermanning* after the car along the telephone lines. Jon
