May 8, 2023 at 15:38	comment	added	Michael Hardy		The reason why `\text{appr}` rather than `\operatorname{appr}` is incorrect LaTeX or MathJax usage can be seen in the behavior of things like `\cos`, `\det`, `\log`, `\max`, etc. In $\cos x$, coded as `\cos x`, you see more space to the right of $\cos$ than you see in $\cos(x),$ coded as `\cos(x)`, and $2\cos(x),$ coded as `2\cos(x)` does not look the same as $2\text{cos}(x),$ coded as `2\text{cos}(x)`. The thing that makes one font look far better to you than another is a large number of little details like this that most people don't notice. Donald Knuth had that in$\,\ldots\qquad$
