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.

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.
