Almost as easy as any non-Shift character.

If J were as lame as our poems, we'd be in trouble.

P.S. For the record, though I was not joking about "Pythagorus",
my real favorite would be "Phi". But maybe that's taken.
All-told, I'm happy enough with the name as-is, except for
internet searches on 'J' bringing up waaay too

I wonder too, unless "the world" here means just
"those folks plausibly capable of being interested".
See Robert Frost's "At Woodward's Gardens".

That one hurts terribly to read. I must concur in spirit
with H's assessment. But the quotation has me won-
dering, is this thread trying to find a new name for 'J"?

This reminds me to ask: When the J term "proverb" was invented
(derived via grammatical logic from the existing "pronoun"), what
thought was given to the result's pre-existence in the language
as meaning something *else*?

Would they allow a symbol entered via its ascii code (like "<" for '<')?

Hi All.
Here is a final crack at posing my question -- this is as whittled as
I can whittle:
Given a 3-D vertex of 3 faces with all edge-to-edge angles known,
how does one calculate its face-to-face angles (all, one per edge)?

Brian,
Yes, have, thanks. I mangled together a little paper model
from his -- Tom Ace's -- face PDFs. Helped a lot to get my
mind around this thing. FYI. though, I do prefer Szilassi's
face-naming convention, as it better conveys congruence
relationships.
Thanks for your note.

Dear J Folks,
From this shape's coordinates as given in Stewart's _Adventures Among
The Toroids_,
I've calculated planar angles (internal angles successively around the
perimeter of each
face) and wish now to compute the (12 unique of 21) interfacial angles
as well.
There are 14 vertices, eac
I'm surprised to see leap-year confusion surface so soon,
and in a programming community, after what we all(?) went
through in 1999 to come out alive.
