Jan 31, 2012 · If x and y are horizontal, z is vertical; if x and z are horizontal, y is vertical. The words horizontal and vertical are generally used in a planar (2-dimensional) sense, not spatial (3-dimensional). Which is the reason you may not find a word corresponding to the third dimension along with horizontal and vertical.

Apr 19, 2014 · In this case, I like the term axial to describe a direction that is along the horizontal or vertical axis relative to the current position. Axial - situated around, in the direction of, on, or along an axis.

"Vertical against horizontal", and, if you choose the almost (but not quite) universal convention of having x-values along the horizontal axis, and the variables are x and y, 'y against x'. There is the complication that the horizontal axis is usually called the 'x-axis'; this doesn't matter when you're plotting v against t (or t against v ...

Sep 8, 2015 · I down-voted this. Orthogonal does not imply horizontal and vertical movement. Orthogonal implies that one movement is at a right angle with respect to the other. Horizontal and diagonal movements are thus always orthogonal, but two diagonal movements can also be orthogonal to each other.

Feb 21, 2018 · I am thinking “vert” and “horiz” could be good, for vertical and horizontal. But I'm not sure if they would add to confusion, since they deviate from the standard terminology. I am also considering “port” and “land” as well, but I don't like that those words have their own meanings by themselves. It could cause confusion.

Apr 13, 2016 · The intersection of the vertical plane with the horizontal plane would form a transverse. This medical definition from thefreedictionary.com describes: transverse plane of space, n an imaginary plane that cuts the body in two, separating the superior half from the inferior half, and that lies at a right angle from the body's vertical axis.

The terms can overlap again, though, in technical areas. In tables or databases it is common to speak of rows and columns, with an emphatic horizontal/vertical contrast in those terms: a row is implicitly horizontal, and cannot be mistaken for a column. It is also perfectly intelligible, however, to speak of ‘lines in tables’.

Jun 15, 2011 · Surely 'plumb vertical' is a builder's term, meaning 'precisely vertical as measured by plumbline', and it was taken up by outsiders who assumed it just meant very (I have seen it as plum as well as the variations in the dictionary).

Apr 29, 2014 · @Doorknob - Elliot has named it correctly. The upper lip is skin-covered, skin-colored, and hairy. The pink parts are called the upper and lower vermilion, the border between the skin and the vermilion is called the vermilion border, the wet, shiny inner portion of what people call the "lips" is called the wet vermilion or the mucosa.

Nov 29, 2021 · My grandparents had a structure at the last cattle guard before their ranch house from which a sign with the name of their ranch hung. It was two vertical poles, with a horizontal crossbeam, I gues...
