And for regular and semi-regular solids and others, a good list is on: Virtual Polyhedra The Encyclopedia of Polyhedra By George W. Hart That includes beautifully crafted 3-d models also. Enjoy!

Carnival. Just a few days I came across the origins of word Carnival. Carni from the medieval Latin carnem levare or carnelevarium, which means to take away or remove meat. (where we get the word carnivorous from) & vale from the latin for farewell Which is why the Germans end the Carnival season on Shrove Tuesday. The day Christians should say farewell to meat before the time of abstinence during Lent |

Muscles -> Titin The full chemical name of the human canonical form of titin, which starts methionyl... and ends ...isoleucine, contains 189,819 letters... More 'fun' chemical names can be found on: List of chemical compounds with unusual names Enjoy! Stay strong!! Note #1: I've just discovered that a post is limited to a maximum 64000 ASCII/utf8 characters... So only about one third of the full name can be posted! Note #2: Does this deserve another rule for the thread??! :-) Note #3: Oooops! Too long to fit and abbreviations don't count! :-o See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Ok this is a commonly used term TGIF I claim that this falls under "-Abbreviations are allowed (but must be a word in its own right)" But it is also an Acronym. Acronyms are not allowed. GrammarBook.com Calls this an Initialism. It also says that initialisms and acronyms are two types of abbreviations that are used to shorten phrases. Initialisms are abbreviations that are pronounced one letter at a time. It points out that true Acronyms are abbreviations that are pronounced as words. For example, you say NASA not "N". "A ", "S", "A" or Asap, not "A", "S", "A", "P". TGIF is spoken as "T", "G", "I", "F" not Tgif So it is an Initialism and thus allowed. |
