Variables and functions and the like are cool, I guess, but using Greek letters for them is just annoying. I don't mind the easy ones like alpha and beta and theta, but I can never remember what lowercase zeta looks like and I can't always draw it, and if I ever see it in the same expression as lowercase xi, my head will explode. C'mon, there are 52 characters in the English alphabet, and even if you exclude the ones that I want to exclude (capital C, because it looks too much like a left parentheses in my horrible handwriting, and the capital and lowercase O's because they look too much like each other and too much like zeros), you still have 49 characters. Do you need more than 49 characters? C'mon, do you, especially when you can use subscripts and have infinitely many different variables while only using up a single letter of the alphabet? I know it's convension to use theta for angles, etc., but do you need to use uppercase phi for some random function? I know you've already used up F and G, but can't you just call it H? |
