    No. The abbreviations in English are Ch. and Chap.

    As illustrated above, there is such a symbol that Unicode doesn’t know about it yet.

    You can if you want to.

    Is “Unknown”? Is the phrase “…made someclass polymorphic…” currently being still more common (as Google, and more specifically searching various programming languages, confirms). However, in technical contexts, coining new terms is quite common, and not generally scoffed at; and this one is completely transparent — anyone familiar with polymorphism will understand what you mean by “Associates and Employives”. This is an example of a person using polymorphize (or polymorphise ) as a verb. Also, while uncommon, it’s certainly not unknown: searching does give a fair few other examples of this.

  • Asked on February 28, 2021 in Meaning.

    As Rhodri says, this means to make eye contact, and is

    considered a sign of sincerity, confidence, and absence of shame or guilt. This is a somewhat peculiar idiomatic phrasing — it seems to use “look” as a transitive verb, which isn’t usually correct — but it’s fairly old and widespread.

    To look at something or something completely in the mirror. This is pretty clear — it’s a perfectly standard use of to look.

    So then look myself in the eye and look at myself in the mirror become conflated as look “us” (in a mirror ). Which doesn’t quite fit neither of those patterns, nor the standard usage of look. As Rhodri said, it certainly has the same meaning as look myself in the eye. I must admit it felt wrong to me when I first read it; but googling around, it’s that it’s very widespread, Grammatically speaking. Is it perhaps new, or is this just recency illusion on my part of being in a way?

    Should people have to take a test for something to make sense?
