An Oxford professor named Hall
Possessed an octagonal ball
The square of its weight
Divided by eight
Was pi times the root of sod all
I suppose saying “natural log” invalidates the last limerick - I’ll allow it.
It’s common to just use “log” in pure math, since nobody uses the base 10 log.
Oldie but goodie:
< > ! * ’ ’ #
^ " ` $ $ -
! * = @ $ _
% * < > ~ # 4
& [ ] . . /

Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH!
“waka” didn’t gain popularity among people, at least not among any I ever heard about, usually it’s angle bracket. I’m quite partial to ‘tic’ and ‘tac’. The rest is standard or at least common, IMO | is pipe and {} braces. * is often called asterisk or star but splat is just better. And # is most definitely not “hashtag”. Here’s an overview of what’s out in the wild.
Pretty sure this is what an aneurysm feels like.
Why does “kicking it up a notch” have to entail completely butchering the meter? Actually infuriating.
