Rarrr!

Dear CS[5|6]966 lecturers,

The singular of the word vertices is vertex. There is NO SUCH THING as a 'verticee'. I don't even know how you're trying to spell that word you keep saying. It hurts me every time you use it, and you have been doing this for long enough that you really, really should know better. The correct word even shows up on the screen in Maya every time you switch selection modes. Please read it as written.

Thank you,
Brian

*growls* Total pet peeve here, too. You tell 'em!

Oh, so much hate. I had a math teacher in high school who was so dead-set on "verticee" that he eventually wound up using "vertici" as the plural.

Math teacher. I wish I were kidding.
