It might not be cool too say things should be squared, either
November 17th, 2004
I just realized that the majority of my conversational humor revolves around the movie Wayne’s World.
Speaking of WW, or any other acronym with a double letter, it pisses me off that there’s no way to type the little-2 symbol for “squared.” I know that you can type “W^2″ like we used to on our TI-82s in high school math, but it’s just not the same. And while it sounds funny and natural to say that something’s “squared” out loud, you can’t write “W squared.” It defeats the purpose and just doesn’t work, much like the bum microwave I insist on keeping around just in case. (To be fair, a bum microwave would be a great place to store crusty-fooded plates in the case of an emergency. The door seals so tightly that I wouldn’t have to worry about rodentia and insectia. Just infectia, I guess. Strike that. Reverse it.)
