So I went to Sciencing to get the title right.

I don't usually make scatter plots. But I'm doing one now, and I don't want to mess it up. So I looked it up.






Sounds good. So I went to Sciencing to get the whole story. Specifically, to get the title right.


Too much information, maybe.

I read it twice. Then I made my scatter plot title. Then my forehead wrinkled and the gray matter told me That's not right.

If "plant growth" is the y-axis variable and the proper form is "y-axis variable vs. x-axis variable", then the title would be "Plant Growth vs. Amount of Fertilizer." Not "Amount of Fertilizer vs. Plant Growth."

Now I have to wonder if it's just coincidence Google omitted that last sentence from Sciencing, or if the Google AI is really smarter than I am.

Me v. three

We have three dogs.

In the wee hours, before anyone else is up, I am glad the dogs don't understand the concept of majority rule.
