Hi Donna;
There seems to be room for Icelandic speakers.
I find that the vagaries of English et al, can be remedied by phrasing
things directly in J, much like having a piano present can facilitate a
discussion of a musical subject.
One question: how did you get that single symbol for <- , or those Greek
characters from an earlier post?

Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] significant digits
I am trying to learn J terms
If J terms can actually be used to describe J technically why not use
them?
There are not enough forums to have special conversations for native
speakers of APL, C++, Java, Excell Spreadsheet users, Dutch, French,
Cantonese, Polish, the 820 listed living languages of Papua New
Guinea, German...
function, operator, relation...

. . . One problem it deals with is the plethora of related, but
subtly different, uses of traditional terms in math and numerous
programming languages. For example: function, subfunction, operator,
program, routine, and subroutine are all used in slightly different
ways in different programming languages. Rather than inherit this
confusion, J adopts its own terms, and defines them precisely within
its context.

Hello Donna;
Why not use the J term VERB?
I suspect it is a first-language-APL thing. function/verb are
interchangeable to me. To insist on one term over another is a bit
"Academie Française" to me.

Why not...
I'm seeing this is as you saying "this also works" my first impression
was in error. Never mind.
