@jasonroy0 Yeah. I actually try to be careful about my language. What offends is when someone tries to assert moral authority over me. -
@jasonroy0 Especially when it's a dumb and obviously morally vacant child. -
@jasonroy0 In that case, though, Chinese restaurants are noteworthy for having really big round tables, so I don't see the problem. -
@St_Rev I don't think it's a problem, but you never know if there will be a student who will find it offensive for whatever reason -
@jasonroy0 Yeah. I think if I were still in academia I'd be completely insane by now. Well, differently completely insane.

@St_Rev fwiw, have to say I learned this as Laplacian of Gaussian and only heard it called Mexican hat many years later -
@Meaningness I suspect there's a ton of micropreferences that got frozen into wikipedia by who got there first/who won the edit war. -
@Meaningness Sort of like how local dialects become national languages. Contingent amplification events.
