It wasn't.

I do use PDF files, and also link to some. I use Emacs or Evince, generally; it's not a worry of mine.
The most important lesson is learning how to think, which no school I'm aware of truly teaches. I prefer to think my mathematical ignorance isn't a damning issue, and at least I can always learn more; I'd conveniently prefer to think the baser ideas are more important.

I recalled what I'd forgotten, but it flows nicely with my response, so I won't mark it.
I recall reading that Latin speakers, and Romans in particular were far from eager to coin neologisms (unlike say the Greeks and the English), and this was part of what made Cicero so remarkable.
I wasn't familiar with that, but am glad to know.
Anyway it's not everyday you hear of a happy verisimilitude
This clause amused me.
I am extremely interested in following your footsteps here.
I'm extremely interested knowing I've had this effect on another. Have we only ever conversed here?
I was imagining an instant messenger with auxiliary dictionaries for ebonics etc. to improve efficiency, and some sort of convoluted merging mechanism to resolve addressing into multiple auxiliary dictionaries leading to their proliferation.
One way to do this is to reserve some of the auxiliary dictionary encoding space, and append the particular auxiliary dictionary to it on each end.
If the demented wanted to do this I suppose they would need to distribute a new main dictionary, which is elegant.
This is the better way, really, yes. It's a fundamental waste of time for ebonics, however.
Still I should have taken what I needed instead of waiting for someone to give it to me, and I'm largely to blame for my lack of Latin today.
I waited several years before recently resuming my Latin studies; only fragments from before remain, but I've still learned so much more than I'd then. It's easy to be swept up in how to express complex thoughts, yet most of the English I speak and write still uses ultimately basic structures, once I was determined to recognize it.
Despite having largely recovered I'm taking off next semester due to my illness.
Don't die.
I'll need to give it more consideration. I have resources prepared on these subjects, and my semester ends this week. So I should begin Monday without issue.
I'm not much read on philosophy. I similarly anticipate reading the classical Latin texts.
I like the idea of avoiding multiple representations for visually-identical texts, and have so many related ideas. I'd've liked to have no spacing a slot in the inter-word punctuation code, but it causes this issue; an alternation is marking such things, but my design should avoid the ability to express them as long as feasible, for this is easy to add and hard to remove. It also interferes with word counting. I expect better things here with Latin, which I recall from my schooling had no inter-word punctuation, and which users thereof would have a higher tolerance to any slight oddities of my system when looked upon in some ways, such as exit being two words.
What basic language modelling I've done has taught things I never learned from a school. I even realize new things about, say, hyphens, as I go to sleep some nights. It's a shame English tends to hyphenate or space, and then to concatenate; at the least, this means my simple dictionary compression algorithm which simply removes character storage for words subsumed by others may work well enough to avoid improving.

Perhaps I explained it poorly. Anyway, I've already thought of how to have the system able to recognize words not in the primary dictionary, primarily with regard to a language such as Latin in which adding words would be more work, without polluting each auxiliary dictionary. Any word suggestion system should simply have its own storage for such words.
