Contrapositive, is that like if A -> B the contrapositive would be ~B -> ~A ? if so, I can see using contrapositively. If not, I should avoid using it because I don't know what it means.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. AFAIK it only has this meaning (in logic).

Thanks for the help! Given that it's almost 6pm, I'm leaning towards "suck it up, author man." On the other hand, that's not very polite. However, he's driving me crazy.

I suppose one could say, "If it rains today, Sue will take her umbrella. Contrapositively, if Sue does not take her umbrella, it isn't raining.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
think the main thing is that I get hungry at 3:00 every day no matter what, quirk of the metabolism or something, and I'd exhausted my last snack at 2:00. But two small pieces of candy really were enough to stem the growly stomach and desperate hunger feeling. So I just need to budget my points and bring a snack accordingly, even if it's something tiny.
Or if belly fillers work for you bring zero or low point stuff with high bulk. Zero point slaw, melons, celery, oranges...

Nevertheless, go home, it's late!
DH picked up some takeout for us but his train is delayed at the stop before his, so who knows when I will see either husband or dinner?
Oh, he just texted me that he's on the train. Once again, whining works.

These things are incredibly light - a sneeze can destroy one. They fly at slower than walking speed. In fact, walking around can create turbulence that affects their flight. Some can fly more than half an hour on a single winding. They're just mesmerizing to watch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That seems even less likely than the actual drug ads that warn against a possibly side effect of compulsive gambling.
