Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? An amusing exemplification of why maniac wont work is manic organization. :P Also, unfortunately the other three add too much weight. Thanks though. |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? It possible you could claim that a person with the aforementioned traits is a bedlamite, but this is not what I am going for here. |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? Chaotic isn't quite right. To say a person is chaotic is different than those traits I describe above. But I do agree that mania does not imply chaos. |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? This is good. I do wish pandemoniac referred to a person rather than a setting, but I agree I could get away with this. I could be perverse and say pandemaniac ;) which is a good compromise among your answers. :) |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? This is amusing, and in a certain sense fine. But it isn't quite ok. I understand punning on entropy, but actually the latin doesn't translate the way we would like. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/entro |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? Both useful answers. To be honest, I had an even more nefarious connotation that mischievous. These are both great substitutes in the right situation. |

Is there a word to describe a person who likes chaos? Ya, I definitely am not thinking of anarchy. But I can see the relation. |

What do you infer from this sentence “X is not Y or Z”? Martinho is exactly right, and this is the reason for the confusion of your comment. Notice in my comment I use parenthesis. It is for exactly this reason! However, now I think you get the idea. |

What do you infer from this sentence “X is not Y or Z”? J D is correct, applying the rule of that post here states that "X is not Y or Z" corresponds to "X is not Y or X is not X". In symbolic logic where n corresponds to not, we have X=n(Y v Z) if and only if X=nY ^ nZ. This is referred to as one of De-Morgan's Laws. |

“That” or “which”? Does it matter? Is this true?! If this is in fact correct, thank you for pointing this out, as I had no idea. :/ +1 for now, but can you give a reference? Not that I think you are lying, but I am a bit paranoid now with respect to colloquialisms vs rules. This site is making me ever more nervous. |

Would or Could, in a list of questions, is the first verb always the correct choice? @Noldorin At the risk of becoming embroiled a) this should be discussed in meta b)your last comment is completely untrue, I have not demonstrated any "lack of decent behavior", and I cannot even fathom what to which you are referring, I ask you to engage me in a respectable way by email(bryan(dot)mysecondname(at)gmail) so that we can resolve this misunderstanding. I have no desire to create this sort of conflict on ANY SE site, and I have never acted in a way that should be perceived as a personal attack. ShreevatsaR is exactly correct in that it was your answer I was critizing, not you. |
