What does a chimerical scheme mean?
Chimerical Scheme The term "A Chimerical Scheme" is derived from the Greek Story of Pegasus and Bellerophon. At one point in the story, The King of Lycia was asked to kill Bellerophon but instead of killing him himself, he told Bellerophon to kill the Chimaer, assuring that Bellerophon would die in the attempt. That is the origin of a chimerical scheme, and from this I would guess that the present-day meaning would be to ask somebody to do something that would bode harm to them without their knowing. A chimerical Scheme is a scheme that is so wildly fanciful and delusionary that it could never become a reality, having no existence except in thought.
Is upper-case easier to read than lower-case?
You might think so, but while it might aid someone with poor sight to understand, extensive studies show that the font being read has a fairly profound effect on a reader, and all caps are 'harder' to read--or at least, to *take*--and really is fairly analogous to listening to shouting.
'Sale' is a noun; 'sell' is a verb. (Of course, there are exceptions.)
Why is an idea like the pacific only using thees letters t n u o i a s j?
The idea of using only the letters "t n u o i a s j" to represent the Pacific is a form of linguistic playfulness or creativity. It is a way of symbolically representing the concept of the Pacific Ocean using a limited set of letters. This can be seen as a way to engage the reader's imagination or to convey a sense of simplicity or minimalism in expressing the idea.
