You misinterpreted what I wrote and then blamed it on me? You've
said I abbreviate too often, not that I misuse symbols. I've never
used / like that, I would've written noun << adj. if that's what I had
meant.
If this is really what the problem was, why didn't you ask what I
meant in your first response or at least mention what your
interpretation of a supposedly difficult form was after I questioned
why you'd somehow bring 'foot' and 'footic' into the mix.
I still don't understand why you'd pick 'foot' as the noun I
supposedly put at the base of the derivation (and not 'fall' or 'sin'
or some other similar noun).
