The REI salesperson described pants as having "4-way stretching". I feel like he doesn't understand some things about 2D embedded manifolds.
@cmuratori OK, so in that amazing marketing way, it turns out 4-way stretching _means 2-way stretching_, and 2-way means 1-way.

@cmuratori up AND down, left AND right... they're different directions, see? Says so right in the words. ;) -
@vvuk I feel like they're being short-sighted. Surely we could include every possible direction in the plane, for infinite-way stretching?
