"Periphrasis"
[edit]A mistaken edit in 2009 changed the meaning of a sentence and created a new word sense on the internet.
Before:
The cathetus is far more frequently known as a "leg" of the right triangle, or by the periphrasis "side about the right angle".
After:
It is called occasionally called the periphrasis ("side about the right angle").
I reverted to the original version. This talk entry is for the benefit of future readers who wonder where the bogus sense of 'periphrasis' came from. Heron (talk) 09:22, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
