Conversations on this list are anything but ordinary. Here is another word = that
you might like, if your taste is perverted the same way as mine: "corollary= ".
You may also enjoy dirty words like "theorem", "proof", "Q.E.D" phrases lik= e=20
"if and only if", "Cauchy sequence" and similar. From your liking of the wo= rd "lemma",=20
I conclude that your college major wasn't in liberal arts. Thanks for your support!
