General Rules for reading CoSy stuff :
Like Andrew Jackson said, anyone who can't spell a perfectly good word in
at least two perfectly good ways just lacks imagination.

Don`t trust any numbers . I`m really not a very good typist &
just find taking notes , dispite all my limitations , a better use of my time
at an event , that not taking notes . Get a CoSy to take your own notes .
I always use true proportions rather than percents , and in ASCII , the
APL uses the percent symbol '%' for division ( monadically : reciprocal ) .
See : CoSy/Language
Any of my later editorial comments are in brakets ' [ ] ' .
I suggest using a fixed pitch font when looking at them because ,
following one of the greatest insiets from FORTH , a space is the
fundamental delimiter in CoSy , and always will be .
In notes on presentations of computer
languages , eg , the APL languages where , of course there is the
problem of embedding one language in another , I tend to use the CoSy/APL
ascii comment symbol ' | ' even if it is used in the other language for , eg
, modulo . All languages need , but too many don`t have , paired opening and closing comment symbols like
HTML`s ' <!-- ' and ' --> ' .
I tend to use the 2- and 3-glyphs ' |( ' , ' )| ' and ' |(| ' , ' |)| '
as ' meta-comment-symbols ' to separate language fragments .
I also find the CoSy result returning form ' | expression |>| result | '
to be so useful for putting examples in line ,
I use it .
