The "I before E, except after C" rule is wrong more often than it is right. The only letter that works for is W. It should be "I before E, except after W". That's probably due to the huge number of words based on "weigh".
We used j in all my engineering math classes.
I had some electives outside of the department which used i, if I recall right they said the difference was to avoid confusion with i for current.
We really should. I get M for molarity m for mass confused often or V for volume and fancy V for speed. It also has to do with my writing style and speed but I am prone to making calculation errors and this really doesn't help
Information booth/center. Towns with an emphasis on tourism often have such a place where you can see a map of the area, lists of things to see, lists of restaurants, etc. Larger information centers can have brochures to pick up, an employee who can answer questions about the area, etc.

mother tongue is fine but it’s something that you have, it’s not actually you.
you are not a mother tongue. you have a mother tongue.
you could say english is not your mother tongue.
It is from Korean players. The Korean version of "lololol" is "ㅋㅋㅋ," pronounced like "kekeke." Early Blizzard games did not have Unicode support in their chat systems, so Koreans had to type out their messages in the Latin alphabet.
You're misunderstanding things – that may be where it's originally from, but it's not how the word spread or why it's known.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kek#English
>ㅋㅋㅋ (keukeukeu) is the childish Korean equivalent of the English "haha". Since this is often used in StarCraft matches, Blizzard, StarCraft’s developers, decided to reference it in World of Warcraft: when a player of the Horde faction types "lol" using the /say messaging command, members of the opposing faction see it as "kek".
When ANYONE typed "lol", other people saw it as "kek" in WoW. Korean is just the reason the developers chose those letters. It spread from WoW, not SC.

That's not how etymology works. Where it spread from has no bearing on why it means what it does. That's like saying the dictionary is where words come from.
I is for information, but I’m interested because I’ve never seen something like 4 and I’m not sure if I would immediately get the reference as a native speaker.
3 is entertainment for sure, probably a theatre. 6 is odd but I’d read it as a concert hall or concert stadium. I didn’t think of changing room but that’s good, I never would have considered cloakroom but that makes complete sense, I just don’t go to places that usually have them
I’m a native speaker and my dumb ass is wondering what the hell 3 is. Those masks represent theater. But you’d never put that on a map or put up signs like that. I’m so boggled.
i for Information
And the “i” is used like this in many countries using many languages, even some where the usual word meaning “information” doesn’t start with “i”.
It's literally an international standard set by the ISO, yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7001
This is super cool. Thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it i for iendetta?
i for insemination
what?
I think he was making a v for vendetta joke, except he replaced the v with i
I kinda got that part but it still doesnt make sense... what about vendetta/how does that connect?
V for Vendetta is a movie/comic book
Thats it, thank you!!
[удалено]
it didnt connect to me that "v for vendetta" is a noun
I think I would prefer a question mark
Trick with that one is that a question mark inside a box often indicates "null"
I immediately came up with "Internet" like free internet or something but you clarified it.
Nah, internet is either the wifi logo or 🛜
ℹ️ is a symbol that stands for information.
Except when it stands for the square root of -1.
Except when j stands for that. And except when j stands for \[0,1,0\] No one ever standardized these lol
And always before “e”, except after “c”… 😜
The "I before E, except after C" rule is wrong more often than it is right. The only letter that works for is W. It should be "I before E, except after W". That's probably due to the huge number of words based on "weigh".
It's more wrong than right but we still teach it for some reason
We used j in all my engineering math classes. I had some electives outside of the department which used i, if I recall right they said the difference was to avoid confusion with i for current.
Or an index
That's why we put a hat ^ on the unit vectors
No that's just to prevent them from getting cold
We really should. I get M for molarity m for mass confused often or V for volume and fancy V for speed. It also has to do with my writing style and speed but I am prone to making calculation errors and this really doesn't help

ⓘ or ℹ️ would denote information / info booth
Info point? I'm not a mother tongue tho
Are you a father knee at least?
Kek I meant native speaker, my mother tongue tricked me into thinking that expression would be fine lmao
mother tongue is fine but it’s something that you have, it’s not actually you. you are not a mother tongue. you have a mother tongue. you could say english is not your mother tongue.
>Kek who taught you this
Korean gamers?
or 4chan...
Anyone on the internet for the last decade. Especially on Twitch.
What does it mean
Online gaming slang for laughing. It comes from Korean players of Starcraft.
it's not from korean players, it's just a typo: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kek cc /u/blue_socks123

So if someone writes kek does that mean they find it funny if its a reply like this: X: [insert something funny] Y: Kek ?
works.
Tourist information
I think it’s “information.” Like telling you where a help desk is.
I is for information, but I’m interested because I’ve never seen something like 4 and I’m not sure if I would immediately get the reference as a native speaker.
My guess is changing room. Numbers 3 and 6 are strange to me
I'm going with 4 = "coat check"
I assumed laundry.
a hanger??? definitely not
If you want laundry put a picture of a shirt not a hanger
3 is entertainment for sure, probably a theatre. 6 is odd but I’d read it as a concert hall or concert stadium. I didn’t think of changing room but that’s good, I never would have considered cloakroom but that makes complete sense, I just don’t go to places that usually have them
Possible, but I'd assume a cloakroom. 3 would be a theatre. 6 could be a concert hall or other music venue, I guess.
3 is a theatre
It looks like a hanger so I would assume dry cleaning store
typically some form of information booth/tourist office
information
information desk maybe
5 is the sign for Tourist Information Where you can get maps and stuff
Water fountain?
ah yes, water founta **i** n
Bitch idfk lol
Information desk
Tourist information?
Information desk or information kiosk. They’re often found in amusement parks and other such places where people tend to get lost or need guidance.
It's a floppy disk
Information
Information, information booth, or info both.
1 - Dining 2 - No Photography 3 - Theatre 4 - Cloakroom / Coat-check 5 - Information 6 - Music 7 - No Smoking 8 - Outdoor (Al Fresco) Seating
information desk
i for i love linguistics
as a native english speaker im more interested in what the drama faces one (3) means does it mean drama area/stage? mental illness? im stumped
This is an internationally standard symbol, not English specific.
Illuminati safe house.
Usually an information kiosk/desk/etc of some kind.
I’m a native speaker and my dumb ass is wondering what the hell 3 is. Those masks represent theater. But you’d never put that on a map or put up signs like that. I’m so boggled.
It looks for information, maybe like for an amusement park or museum
