Again, I’d like to see a version of the document,
maybe 1.0.0-draft220809 now.
The headers should align vertically, e.g.
\phantom yScalar monadic verbs\phantom y
(same for Selection, Adverbs etc)
and the footnote mark after Scalar should
in both cases be followed by a ›\ ‹
please use colors consistently, e.g. always or never
color ASCII; always or never color x and y in tables etc.
I’m puzzled: what is the Glossary supposed to tell me?
I’d like hooks and forks to show nouns may be used in
every other position starting from the 3rd from the left,
and the numbering is bad:
V3 NV2 V1 V0 | (V3 (NV2 V1 V0))
NV4 V3 NV2 V1 V0 | (NV4 V3 (NV2 V1 V0))
+: -: *: and %: belong together – why are they separated
by >: and >: ?
control structures feel non-J – are they supposed to be
included on a reference card? I don’t feel they should
I’m missing a section on gerunds
The Booleans table would be much more readable using
¬,∨,∧ rather than !,|,& (at least to me)
Complex numbers: 'r. π' doesn’t work
tracking in the footnotes is too wide
they’re explanatory and don’t need to be mono anyway
I still find it quite unusual to have a dagger for
complex conjugate – when I see a dagger, I expect a
footnote; for conjugate, I expect an \overbar
I’d love to see a section on special combinations
(but maybe that goes against the idea of a refcard?)
rank doesn’t show negative rank, or repeated application
I’d like the Foreigns table’s left column to align around
the actual m!:n expression much like it’s been done in
the Adverbs and other tables
I don’t understand the commentary in parentheses for %.
((y ∗ y) −1 y ∗ )
That’s what I see right now – hopefully, half of it
makes sense to you.
… and I’m still not sure if I like that way of grouping
but otoh I don’t know if that’s only due to being too much
used to the way it’s done in NuVoc
