We see that we have reached an expression that have clearly the form of the energy conservation equation. It is possible to distinguish the terms of the kinetic energy and the potential energy, but we see that a wild integration constant have appeared so we have to interpret its meaning.

Or the fact that Galois was a rubbish shot.

You know you are a nerd in an office full of non-nerds when one of the phrases you use most often is "what happens if you type that into Google?" Many of them get the point. Some of them give me the impression that they think Google will explode if they type a technical question. Find the football scores? Yes. How do I do a t-test in R? Let's ask Ibix just in case...

The word "bracket" in math is fine. But my least favorite nomenclature in physics is the "bra" and "ket" in QM. But it's funny sometimes. There was a guy in my intro to QM course who did not like saying the word "bra" using its standard pronunciation, so he pronounced it to rhyme with the first syllable in "bracket." But he was the only one, and he always hesitated before saying it at all. It was obvious he was uncomfortable.

It's a nerd detector. Works well with EE nerds and physicists, but its efficiency drops off rapidly with distance of the nerd from these disciplines.

Well I qualify as both types of nerd, at least to some small extent. So I could not sleep tonight until I tracked this down.
