    Is there a nice Web page or a Youtube Clip that
    explains these inverted (upside-down) characters? (abcde, ǝpɔqɐ)

    i wish i could do that easily within Vi.


    btw... i only recently learned that Vim was a regular ol' noun.




    vim /vim/ Origin = mid 19th century (originally US): perhaps from Latin, accusative of vis ‘energy’.



    What does vim mean in British slang? ------ Vim is energy and enthusiasm. If you've got vim, then you probably pack a little extra oomph in your life! Vim is an odd-looking word, but it stands for a simple concept: being ready for activity, especially
    vigorous activity. Someone who is always playing sports or going on trips is full of vim.





    What is the origin of vim? --- In 1988, a Dutch software developer named Bram Moolenaar got a new Amiga computer and wanted to start editing in vi.
    Stevie was buggy and unsatisfying, so Moolenaar began writing a new vi port, based on its source code. He named the project 'Vi IMitation', or 'Vim' for short.

    vi is to editors what PHP is to programming languages.

    What does vim mean in British slang? ------ Vim is energy and
    enthusiasm.

    The phrase I remember coming across was “pep, vim and vigour”.

    If you want an editor with all three, and not just one, you can’t go past Emacs!

    Counterpoint: I'm not aware of a website called ‘Vi Sadness’…or any reasons to create such a thing.
