So I made more crossword puzzles if anyone care to try them. I had a lot of fun making them. Two of them are themed, one based on emojis (which was a little tricky as some people have multiple options) and the other has lists of characters as clues to actors. Answers are in the comments.
Welp, this is a little terrifying but here we go. I needed a new procrastination project recently so I'm trying my hand at making crosswords. I'm not sure how to make it fillable yet. This is the first one that's not extremely awkwardly shaped and each word is at least 3 letters. This is somewhat themed on Love You Teacher as I finished that today and there is an Episode 10 spoiler.
Edit: I just realized there is a mistake and there is an extra L on the end of 1 down
I am a math professor and this semester I've taught a (new to me) class called The Language of Mathematics. It's aimed at humanity majors and teaches math as a Language, distinguishing between the body of knowledge mathematics and how it is said (aka Mathematics.) I've been interested in languages and linguistics for many years now and I was "mapping" different language and linguistics aspects to Mathematics, considering the nouns, verbs, sentences, grammar rules, etc. One thing that I find interesting is that in the language of Mathematics, you can distinguish statements and expressions solely by the pauses or speed of speech (example below.) I "mapped" that to the idea of tonal languages, or perhaps how words are stressed like the English object versus object, but was wondering if this exact pausing/speed difference was a feature of any other language to change the meaning of a word or phrase?
Given an expression like 3x+2, you can distinguish it from the expression 3(x+2) using speed or pauses. The former pronounced "three x plus two" versus the latter "3 (pause, then quickly) x plus 2" as opposed to using a clunky/wordy "three times the quantity of x plus two" or "three times the sum x plus 2."
