ST3M (Science Technology Engineering and Math) is a FUNS (Four Unique Non Special) characters like DBNP (Deep, but not Profound) which was a concept my friend sprung on our unsuspecting classmates. CBNC (Christ, but not Crist) is the preeminent example of a similar concept based of the presence of a silent consonant, rather than the double letters in DBNP.Imwashingmypirate wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:17 amIs this in the dictionary?

The word “not” precludes a similarly named concept based on the presence of the letter O.
Normally a symbol differentiates these 2-Tuple pairs i.e. mrgreen has EE and Whale has silent H.
Heretofore the symbol is appended, opposite the word(s) before the comma.
For a concept based on the letter O, everything could reverse order:
Thusly: (Dagger, but not Sword)
Alternatively, (Sword ... Dagger)
Where “...” fills in for “but not”, which is a cleaner presentation for all expressions of these concepts.
