Re: [math-fun] The word "stathm"

Allan wrote [of stathm]: << It's too cute a word to stay out of the dictionary. Yes, but . . . there are precious few citations for it. Googling on +stathm algebra only 10 distinct citations come up (ignoring the ones Google calls "similar"). Meanwhile, MathSciNet has *zero* occurrences of the word *anywhere* in their database (though there are maybe five for foreign versions of the word). (But besides not being in the OED, it's also not in either the 2nd or 3rd edition of Merriam-Webster's unabridged.) --Dan _____________________________________________________________________ "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that certain je ne sais quoi." --Peter Schickele
