michael is taking law and economics this semester. i have no idea what this class is about. but that's irrelevant.
in determining whether a case should be litigated, there's this formula that takes the cost of litigation and compares it to the probability of winning times the amount likely to be won. or something like that.
michael's professor writes this formula on the board consistently throughout his class.
he chooses to abbreviate the cost of litigation as C sub lit.
which makes it difficult for anyone to pay attention. everyone abbreviates it c sub l in their notes to avoid any giggling during finals studying.

at work, the company abbreviates "cumulative" by taking off the -ulative and using the first three letters. you can always tell who the new people are because they don't pronounce the abbreviation as "que-m", like everyone else.
it's so dirty.
