19 May 2018 - topos and topoi
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Do you mix up “topos”, more than one topo, with “topoi”, more than one
topos? If not, what’s your secret? Wait, if your secret is ignorance,
then I don’t want to know.
clue:
“Topo” is derived from “topographical”, and “topos” directly from Greek.
Since they were borrowed at different times, though from the same root,
they are pronounced differently.
take oh take this clue away
