DaasYochid has alleged that our styles are so similar: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/seminary-vs-sherut-leumi/page/2#post-538079

and that mine is a more feminine version: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/seminary-vs-sherut-leumi/page/2#post-538111

Does anyone agree or disagree?

I thought PBA might actually be a woman.

I dunno about styles but the opinions are certainly very divergent.

“I dunno about styles but the opinions are certainly very divergent.”

The first thing I thought when I read DaasYochid’s comment was that I disagree with PBA on many things. But that’s not necessarily what DaasYochid meant.

PAA isn’t one?

I disagree.

1) I’ve never seen PBA post long excerpts from seforim

2) PAA doesn’t use the r word in every other sentence

3) PBA uses a lot more abbreviations than PAA (example: DY vs. PAA spelling out DaasYochid)

4) PAA isn’t rude

5) PBA is sharp witted, while PAA has more of an intellectual sense of humor

Whoever posited that they have similar styles has no idea what they’re talking about.

“PBA uses a lot more abbreviations than PAA (example: DY vs. PAA spelling out DaasYochid)”

I am generally very makpid not to use abbreviations, as I pointed out here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/sem-and-security#post-534019

(Here I made an exception to write PBA because the whole point was that PBA and PAA are alphabetically very similar.)

The reason is that one day when they publish “The Collected Writings of Patur Aval Assur” I want it to be able to pass the highest academic standards (although by then maybe abbreviations will pass the standards).

Any examples to illustrate the contrast?

“I thought PBA might actually be a woman.”

And now we have proof:

There is actually an article in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science which discusses this.

Some quotes therefrom:

“the mass ratio of PBA versus PAA”

“to avoid specific interactions of PAA with the column”

“Analyses of PAA have therefore to be taken cautiously.”

(My personal favorite)

“Critical conditions have been determined for PBA”

“PBA is a liquid at room temperature and PAA is a solid.”

“the PBA and PAA layers have a similar thickness”

“a constant PBA/PAA ratio of 0.25”

“upon neutralization of PAA”

“The contribution of PAA to the chemical potential is neglected here.”

“excludes the possibility that PAA swells the cores”

“tension between PBA and water”
