spell it any way you want, you still do not have any idea what it is.

yo-yo, a string strung between two points has, and always has, a catenary. go
look it up.

I don't know about that.... at least I have taught you to *spell* the
word correctly... you haven't spelled "caternary" once. That's nice.
Actually is seems to indicate that you can be trained... at some
level. I still haven't made any progress in teaching you the math and
physics of the function, though. I don't feel bad, though, you never
learned it during all those years of high school, either...

Now, take your crayons and try to draw, to your own satisfaction of
course, how one uses catenaries to make fast to the dock. If you want
to make construction paper cutouts to help, do let mommy or daddy in
the white coat get the round pointed scissors, ok?
