| Sep 14, 2012 at 17:31 | comment | added | GH from MO | @Kevin: wonky, skewiff, donkey's years are all new to me. I will have to look them up somewhere at some time. Is "Oh dear" not a Britishism as well? Just curious. | |

| May 24, 2012 at 14:47 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Oh dear. Is this a Britishism? I was once giving a talk in Berkeley and I described something as "wonky" and someone in the audience asked me what it meant -- I was surprised that this word could be a British English word but not a US English one. So I told them that "wonky" meant "skewiff" and they said that they'd never heard of that word either! | |

| May 22, 2012 at 15:44 | comment | added | Stopple | It took me a while to figure out what a 'thesis donkey' was. | |
| May 22, 2012 at 10:38 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Chandan -- I knew that Tate had discovered an $A_4$ example years ago -- this fact is mentioned in Buhler's thesis if I remember correctly -- and I did chase up Tate's paper when I was a grad student. But it was foolish of me to not chase it up again. I've added some historical remarks plus the reference to Tate's paper, to my paper. Thanks. Amazing example of MO working to make life better. | |
