"Letters weren't supposed to be used in maths. Maths would be easier if it didn't have letters." Actually it would be harder.

What’s the worst thing about limits?
• Is it always having to amplify by the conjugate to eliminate indeterminate forms? NO.
• Is it having to learn some limits by heart (especially for trig functions)? NO.
• Is it having to sometimes use L’Hôpital-Bernoulli’s rule over and over again? NO.
• Is it having to just write “lim” before each line? YES. FUCKING YES. WHY OH GOD WHY I HATE THE NOTATION.
The most infuriating part of it is that it’s just a notation and it could so easily be changed, BUT NO, we’re stuck with this shit.
Looks like we can't reflect, rotate, translate our way out of this one boys.
this deserves to be its own post. like yes. totally endorsed.
