reflected: "In these days of Presidential transgressions and apologies and
prime-time interviews about private sexual matters, we grieve for Joe
DiMaggio and mourn the loss of his grace and dignity, his fierce sense of
privacy, his fidelity to the memory of his wife and the power of his silence."

• The traditional Snellen chart is printed with eleven lines of block letters. The
symbols on an acuity chart are formally known as “optotypes" In the case of the
traditional Snellen chart, the optotypes have the appearance of block letters, and
are intended to be seen and read as letters. They are not, however, letters from
any ordinary typographer's font. They have a particular, simple geometry in which:

• the thickness of the lines equals the thickness of the white spaces between
lines and the thickness of the gap in the letter "C"

• the height and width of the optotype (letter) is ﬁve times the thickness of the
line.

• Only the ten Sloan letters C, D, E, F, L, N, O, P, T, Z are used in the traditional
Snellen chart. The perception of ﬁve out of six letters (or similar ratio) is judged to
be the Snellen fraction

_____'s victory, theWashington Post wrote, “One might make all sorts of puns
about it being an/a _____.”

• The Telegraph notes that the adjustment is the only major technical change to
the drama. In a panel discussion, Tyson said that he felt he should hold
Cameron accountable because of his infamous precision in the movie.
Cameron took painstaking care to recreate every historical detail in the ﬁlm,
even using the original blueprint of the ship — but he didn’t take as much
care when it came to the sky, apparently.

• “And with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I
should have done it right. So here i’m changing it to make it just right.”

• This term was coined in a 2005 article in the Sunday Telegraph Times. In August 2012, this
word was listed for the ﬁrst time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary. In
