Relative Direction
In geometry, direction, also known as spatial direction or vector direction, is the common characteristic of all ray (geometry), rays which coincide when translation (geometry), translated to share a common endpoint; equivalently, it is the common characteristic of vector (geometry), vectors (such as the relative position between a pair of points) which can be made equal by scaling (geometry), scaling (by some positive scalar multiplication, scalar multiplier). Two vectors sharing the same direction are said to be ''codirectional'' or ''equidirectional''. All codirectional line segments sharing the same size (length) are said to be ''equipollent (geometry), equipollent''. Two equipollent segments are not necessarily coincident; for example, a given direction can be evaluated at different starting Position (geometry), positions, defining different unit directed line segments (as a bound vector instead of a free vector). A direction is often represented as a unit vector, the res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Anadrome
An anadrome, also known as an Emordnilap or a Semordnilap is a word or phrase whose letters can be reversed to spell a different word or phrase. For example, ''desserts'' is an anadrome of ''stressed''. An anadrome is therefore a special type of anagram. The English language is replete with such words. The word ''anadrome'' comes from Greek ''anádromos'' ( ἀνάδρομος), "running backward", and can be compared to ''palíndromos'' ( παλίνδρομος), "running back again" (whence ''palindrome''). There is a long history (dating at least to the fourteenth century, as with Trebor and S. Uciredor) of alternate and invented names being created out of anadromes of real names; such a contrived proper noun is sometimes called an ananym, especially if it is used as personal pseudonym. Unlike typical anadromes, these anadromic formations often do not conform to any real names or words. Similarly cacographic anadromes are also characteristic of Victorian back slang, where f ...

The Riddle Of Dyslexia
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'') ...
