Depends on the context. Is 'heiht' an English word, an arbitrary token, a representation of a mathematical formula? Could be all three. I'll have to reread Beowulf; turns out my copy, however, has been translated into the modern English form.

It turns out it's also the name of a company somewhere in the Middle East, probably Saudi Arabia, specializing in electrical items.

"Weiht" is the name of a viewing profile on Channel NewsAsia. I'm getting no clearer indications.

In both cases Google suggested the modern English words.

height O.E. hiehþu, Anglian hehþo "highest part or point, summit," from root of heah "high" + -itha Gmc. abstract noun suffix (cf. O.N. hæð, O.H.G. hohida, Goth. hauhiþa "height"). The modern pronunciation with -t not established till 18c., and heighth is still colloquial.

weight O.E. gewiht, from P.Gmc. *(ga)wekhtiz, *(ga)wekhtjan (cf. O.N. vætt, O.Fris. wicht, M.Du. gewicht, Ger. Gewicht), from *weg- (see weigh). The verb meaning "to load with weight" is attested from 1747; sense in statistics is recorded from 1901. To lose weight "get thinner" is recorded from 1961. Weight Watcher as a trademark name dates from 1960. To pull one's weight (1921) is from rowing. Weighty "important, serious, grave" is from 1489.

Go away, vapid cunt.

"it", "he" or "she" it's all irrelevant!

I go again. Don't flood usenet, shitheaded terminal abuser.

I didn't start that; Gisse, Fields, and Cain did.

The common scientific language is Latin. See the first post.

Wrong, I think I'm a'writing.

I do not; I spell text as it's spellen. This has nothing to do with sound.

I think you will find that there is very, VERY little Latin used in electronics, or even in physics in general for that matter.

You participate willingly. Flames =/= physics.

Not for a very long time. What's been misnamed "American English" is.

When you post using terminology _nobody_ else uses you look like just another usenet kook. Why are you surprised to be treated like one?

PS See, you _can_ use it. ;>)

Take a hint and go away, vapid cunt.

Not quite. The historical languages are English, French, German, and to some extent Latin. However, I for one suspect Latin is dying (which is a bit of a pity, but oh well) and English is probably mutating.

Radio and TV do exist. The only question is whether the above is an = accurate=20 mathematical description or just word salad with bluff dressing. Looking at "AM(v)", that appears to be nonsensical, he seems to be saying amplitude modulation is a function of velocity. =20

None of the above. It's wyrd salad.

Um actually more along the lines of insane ramblings. Autymn apparently is one of those who feel that intense posting to the Internet is great therapy for bipolar illness.

However, the basic concept (if that is the right word) is that Autymn started with known systems such as phase, frequency and amplitude modulation (used in radio etc.) and then tried to generalize them. For example, an amplitude modulation is a function of voltage (I presume rather than velocity) which is hinted at by the generalization "Potential modulation". Frequency modulation is generalized to a modulation of duration (length of a cycle, where T = 1/f although Autymn probably doesn't know the actual relationship between period and frequency including her own) and then the "cute" word "durential" modulation is made up. As for phase modulation, Autymn clearly has no clue as to the intricacies of that so we won't even mention it.

"invent" things like "heft" modulation. Yeah, it's all pretty lame, but if it gets you off lithium for a while it's worth it!

I'm not vapid. Die and rot, worthles pig-ape.
