Name change

Offensively stupid name. If I was in charge I'd ban you for vandalism.

That's a bit harsh. I added some more (and fixed the) info on the page regarding the name. Seeing how unpopular it seems to be, "chatsma" may be a reasonable compromise for the name. Not sure how User:AthiTrydhen will feel about it but we could try addressing him directly about it. He seems to be worked up about all this. --Tristanbay (talk) 06:49, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't go so far, but it seems very random. Technically it works, I mean there's no confusion caused by this yet like some of Xenllium's names have, but I would prefer if this name was given to a comma which actually relates to AI in some way. CompactStar (talk) 16:57, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Not going to lie, I don't like the unpronounceable "gpt" stuck in the middle of the comma name. --Aura (talk) 17:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I think you're just supposed to pronounce it by spelling out those letters like with the actual acronym, but it isn't clear from the capitalization. CompactStar (talk) 17:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I'd be much happier if it was simply chatsma. FloraC (talk) 00:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Sintel, Aura, and Flora; it's a cringe-worthy name. Also, if the information about who named it is on the page, could we include why it is named what it is named, before everyone forgets? --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 03:10, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Aura that "gpt" is unpronounceable. Could we either capitalize GPT or spell it all out as Chatgeepeeteesma? --Frostburn (talk) 14:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I suggest renaming this comma to synoptisma (from synopsis, literally Ancient Greek for "seeing together"), because this comma was seen by Tristanbay and User:AthiTrydhen simultaneously. You may say there's also a lot of commas that were discovered by more than one person, but since the initial controversial naming of this comma also attracted a lot of eyes as well, this reinforces the "seeing together" aspect of this comma. --Akselai (talk) 07:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Good idea. I definitely like "synoptisma", as well as its justification. To be fair, I also don't mind "chatsma", but I see both names getting used, just as some commas have multiple names. --Aura (talk) 18:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Definitely the first. "Chatgeepeeteesma" looks atrocious even compared to the current name. CompactStar (talk) 23:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Rename to "Septimal technologisma"

This comma was found repeatedly through computer aid, and this proposed name keeps the connection to technology without adding anything arbitrary. This is, mathematically speaking, a very efficient comma, even if very complex. --Godtone (talk) 19:03, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

I support this renaming. --Frostburn (talk) 19:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

In light of concerns about using "septimal", "undecimal", etc. to distinguish commas, it seems it's acceptable to just call it the "technologisma". --Godtone (talk) 19:14, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Time for a poll!

Just add your ~~~~! You may vote for multiple candidates! (Add more candidates if you have another proposal)
