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.
Is there one word for both horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal, adjacency? Ask Question Asked 11 years, 7 months ago Modified 1 year, 7 months ago
The convention is that x would occupy the horizontal axis, while y occupies the vertical axis, regardless if x is plotted against y, or y against x. Visually, which often would appear mutually indiscriminatable for 1-1 mapping plots.
According to Wikipedia's architectural drawing page: A cross section, also simply called a section, represents a vertical plane cut through the object, in the same way as a floor plan is a horizontal section viewed from the top. This would suggest that section is only appropriate for vertical planes. However, section is more generally defined as, per dictionary.com: a representation of an ...
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.
You might find Flatbed Terminology useful. Apparently when a large coil is being transported on a truck, if the "eye" of the coil (either of the "open" ends) faces fowards or sideways (as opposed to upwards, "to the sky"), it's called a suicide coil (truck driver is more likely to end up getting killed if there's an accident and the coil breaks free of its strapping). Fascinating stuff, but a ...
This was not to use the typographical symbol variously called the neutral, vertical or straight single quotation mark ('), to indicate omission or possession. The justification presented for using the straight single quotation mark is that this symbol bears the name apostrophe — and an apostrophe in English is a symbol used to denote omission ...
If 'horizontal' follows the horizon, and 'vertical' ascends from the horizon, is there a word for a line from the viewer to the horizon? Otherwise, is there a broadly accepted business term for describing data where there are two horizontals, but one is an iterative representation of the first?
I was reading this question on meta.ELU and was struck by what, to me, was a strange use of the phrasal verb to stand up: The site for English Language Learners was stood up in large part so that...
If a vertical presentation is not allowed, then you either have to put the commas inside the quotation marks—or keep them outside but switch to single quotation marks. (That style of punctuation is allowed in scientific texts and literary criticism where literalism is required.)
