FWIW they all sound equally ok to me. I never learned any of these acronyms, tho I've come across them on occasion, and if someone had presented any of the 4 as THE acronym for this I'd have believed them.

And I think writing "3x" implies the precedence in a way that "3 * x" doesn't.

Why? Why would this be important?

I really enjoy a loaf that kind of splits the difference between a crusty artisan loaf and a soft sandwich loaf, and has some texture to it, like seeds or cracked grains.

I would just make the general comment, in response to reading the various exchanges in this thread, that there is a lot of theory around this stuff, and yes there are studies that support some of it, but these theories are by no means something that should be taken as 'fact.' To the extent you find them useful in navigating the terrain they attempt to map, great, but I would avoid getting locked into these ideas in figuring out how to deal with emotions (your own or others) in real life.

A lot of different things can produce anger. Frustration can produce anger. Stress can produce anger.

Often things that may be no one's fault (or no ones but your own) and yet it's often a natural reaction to direct that anger at whoever or whatever it's in front of you.

Those two things are not unrelated.

I think what can be meant by intelligence is a whole complex of different things. So I think the answer depends on what exactly you mean by intelligence. If we focus in some of the aspects that might be called wisdom, or aspects that fall more under what's been called "EQ", the answer might be yes. If we mean what's typically measured by an IQ test, I'd say no.

If you use proper clothes pins that have the socket they screw into you don't have that problem.
