Started programming on a ZX spectrum in the 80's and have moved through Assembly, Turbo Pascal, C++, C#, Fortran. My main area of focus is engineering and scientific computing like numerical methods and 3D graphics.

Why do we “roll” the car windows down, instead of “slide” I would consider that cranking and not rolling. Rolling as in roller skates, or roller bearing. |

Use of “I”, “we” and the passive voice in a scientific thesis Nix the "will be" with "has been". I recommend using positive and factual statements, and not futuristic promises. By the time someone reads this, the works has already been done, and has been reported on. |

To make something opaque = opaquen?SetOpacity would work if I was actually setting the opacity. This code changes the opacity by an amount (like a percent). I more or less move the opacity towards a certain direction (either totaly transparent or totaly opaque), so I am going with MoreOpaque and LessOpaque despite my dislike to this. |

To make something opaque = opaquen? Thats the problem when you are trying to use common language for programming. I don't want to write a MakeColorMoreOpaque(amount) function, but a Opaquen(amount) function. |

Why are Greek letters pronounced incorrectly in scientific English? +1 for the effort. When you get a chance you can finish the list, for completion which might be used as a reference in the future (if it lands in google results). |

Why are Greek letters pronounced incorrectly in scientific English? You may be correct, but this is recent understanding of Classical sounds, and I have to assume that in Science the sounds were adopted for other reasons. |

Why are Greek letters pronounced incorrectly in scientific English? But how do we know the classical pronunciation? I have heard about the arguments with βαρβαρος being pronounced "bar-bar-os" instead of the modern "var-var-os", but this is not enough to know how all the letters where pronounced. |

What is the difference between 20$ and $20? Not true. when in American English you write the euro (like 20€ ) you put it on the end. |
