Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” @Johathan Leffler - Actually, I have taken the paragraph out of its context. The sentence prior to this paragraph referred to a random selection of values between -n and n, hence the 'range' of values. Maybe I should have used 'smaller' or 'larger' range, instead.
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” @GEdgar (and others) - I take back what I said about your argument being the contrapositive. It is the inverse which, in fact, is the correct answer. Sorry about that - it's been a long day.... :-(
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Thanks for that @Peter Shor. Like I noted in my reply to Hack Saw, I believe "inversely" is the more correct term to use but, just to be on the safe side, I have resorted to using "In Contrast..." as noted by Fraser. I definitely WON'T be using the term "Contrapositively..." LOL.
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Thanks for that @Hack Saw. Although I do believe your suggestion of using the term "inversely" more accurately reflects what I want to describe, I think I will stick to "In contrast..." just to be on the safe side.
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Thanks for that @Fraser Orr. I think I will stick to "In contrast..." just to be on the safe side.
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Correction: @GEdgar - no disrespect but, the explanation you give as to the meaning of "converse" is actually the "contrapositive". I only just realised that when I read your reply again. I think I may stick to "In contrast..." or "On the other hand..." as suggested below.
Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Thanks @GEdgar, I wasn't certain whether "conversely" was appropriate in this case. You more or less confirmed it in my mind.

Aug 13	comment	Appropriate use of the term “transversely” Hi @simchona, (I believe) the reason why "conversely" won't work here is because in mathematical speak, the converse of a statement A implies B, is B implies A. In the example that I have provided above, I have more or less negated the statement. I could, however, be wrong.
