Ramblings upon reading Tapson
Posted by hayds in Readings
I think I will jump on the bandwagon from now on and start using “oblong”. It seems like a good idea for a square to be a rectangle, but not an oblong, to better distinguish between the two shapes.
Giving the circle a perimeter rather than a circumference might be a good idea just because the standardising could make composite shapes easier to interpret. Then again maybe circles and ellipses do deserve a reserved title for being curved. Yes the fence is comfortable, thanks for asking.
