mark, you said 'asymptote", and none exists. *that* is bad English?


Is that a question? I guess it is bad English to mix single and double
quotation marks around a word.

It seems to me more likely that you didn't have a clew what the word meant,

and
you used it anyway to "prove" to one and all what a genius you are.


Wow-- a real sailorly pun---substituting 'clew' for 'clue'! Are you
sure you aren't a few sheets to the wind?


As for 'asymptote', I did post a reference to a web site defining the
three types of asymptote. In case you missed it, here it is again:

http://www.math.com/tables/derivatives/extrema.htm

The speed of light would seem to fit the definition of a vertical
asymptote, since no KNOWN amount of power will move a boat's speed
past that line. However, if you have evidence to the contrary,
feel free to share!



remember, the term entered this thread when some fraud claiming to be a

college
professor totally misused the word.

mark, were that fraud?


If you mean was I the person claiming to be a college professor, the
answer is no.

If you mean 'Was that fraud' I don't know because I don't know the
person who posted that.

You really should ask your ISP why it keeps dropping words from your
postings---sometimes rendering them incomprehensible.
