Interesting words
I thought I'd start this since several have expressed a fascination with language and words. This thread is for the words you find interesting. It would be good if you told what was interesting about the word. I'll go first:
Sequoia (Also spelled Sequoyah). I find it interesting because it is one of the few Cherokee words that have found their way into the mainstream English language. Most who know a little bit about Cherokee History know that Sequoia was the name of the man who invented the Cherokee Syllabary, and so created a way for the Cherokee language to be written.
The word "Sequoia" actually means "Sparrow."
"Sequoia" is written in the Cherokee Syllabary as: ᏎᏉᏯ

Re: Interesting words
On my business trip to Serbia 2 years ago, the people I worked with told me that Serbia has given the world only one thing that we all remember: Vampire.
I guess if you're only going to give one thing, make it a good one!

I just mean....... viscosity ..............it's just a sexy word.
Volume viscosity is written in the following algebraic expression Attachment 796
where U is volume viscosity coefficient some apply the alternative term bulk viscosity for the same parameter however it disappears for incompressible fluid when the divergence of the flow equals 0

actually I am just messing with ya hun
Whew... thanks man I always that bit about delta being squared in addition to being multiplied by mu and V. That really cleared that part of for me!
The rest of that equation though.. I mean how could it not be the way it is?? seriously.
