"degrees Kelvin"

I'm from Germany, so most German, English and French names get pronounced correctly (and actually most Italian and Spanish names as well whenever they show up). There are few exceptions, namely "de Broglie" or "Huygens". It's pretty fun to irritate other people with the correct pronunciation of those.

Then I was at Fermilab for half a year and holy shit they just don't give a fuck at all. I mean, they have a completely different concept of what it means to pronounce something correctly. So if I would say "Euler" correctly, they would say "What?" and I repeat "Euler, well, I believe most of you would recognize it as 'Youler'", they would accept that but have not even the trace of an interest in what the names of those scientists are actually pronounced like. No, in their minds, there is whatever some people in Europe call it and the CORRECT AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION. I swear, someone actually corrected ME and told me what the correct American pronunciation is. Couldn't believe the ignorance, but that is actually what many Americans think.

Shit. I wonder if I pronounce the name wrong. I say it similar to "oiler". Is that the dumb pronounciation?

>Assume unreported child sex trafficking statistics in the United States were similar to those found in Columbia, what would be the...

That's the correct one

Should be alright. It's not about that though, it's just about the attitude behind it. I completely understand that "Youler" instead of Euler and "Gawshian" instead of Gaussian in the middle of an English sentence is just easier to say. But assuming it's correct because that's how we do it here in America is just a terrible attitude.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. Fermi Lab is in my home state. I hope most of the people being lazy with pronunciation were from out of state... Either way, sorry that you had to listen to some lazy Americans.

How? "meters per second per second" can only mean one thing. It's less ambiguous than "meters per second squared" since:

"meters per second per second" can only be [math] m/s/s [/math] which is only equal to [math] m/s^2 [/math]

whereas

"meters per second squared" could either be [math] m/s^2 [/math] or it could be [math] (m/s)^2 [/math]

>inb4 it would only be the second case if it were "meters per second all squared"
No it wouldn't. "meters per second squared" could be either case.

How are you meant to say Gaussian?

"g-ow-see-an"

ok good

>can only be m/s/s which is only equal to m/s^2
(m/s)/s != m/(s/s)

This is the correct pronunciation.

Explain to me how this post is anything but you being a pedantic piece of shit to try to justify the stupid way you do shit.

>Saying 'efficient' instead of 'effective.'

>Newton's calculus

But the post he replied to was completely about making no mistakes
If there is any autism it is the previous one

Meters per second squared is ambiguous. It could be m/s^2 or (m/s)^2.
If you cant grasp that, then i cant do much for you.

Good one, but does anyone ever say that?

Yes but not intentionally.

Wtf? Do they mean an if loop with a goto to the beginning at the end (which is the same as a while loop) or just a simple if statement (which isn't a loop at all)?

i'll never get over it

Then why don't call it "Meters per squared seconds"?

I don't get why it matters. When someone says Kelvin, I know what they're conveying. When someone says degrees Kelvin, I know what they're saying. I care 0 about the pedantics involved.

Why should temperature have units of energy? I'm genuinely curious (well, I'm curious if the answer isn't "natural units," which I understand, but frankly, is a shit argument).

>the mass of this steel spring is negligible

This

nice b8. subtle.

If you are serious you haven't understood a single thing about thermodynamics.

thermo was a joke. It's just an exercise in looking up the correct data table of properties and interpolating to a plug and chug formula. No real learning occurs.

And yet you don't know the difference between energy and temperature. Sounds like an issue with the student rather than the subject.

Yeah, obviously no learning occurred in your case. Sad!

energy can be described as force over a distance and distance (as well as mass and time in force) is more fundamental than energy i guess? idk this shit is all made up we dont even have a standard for mass yet just the shitty IPK

I had a guy in my class that pronounced it like that.
