T \T\ (t[emac]), the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, is a nonvocal consonant. With the letter h it forms the digraph th, which has two distinct sounds, as in thin, then. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect]262-264, and also [sect][sect]153, 156, 169, 172, 176, 178-180. The letter derives its name and form from the Latin, the form of the Latin letter being further derived through the Greek from the Ph[oe]nician. The ultimate origin is probably Egyptian. It is etymologically most nearly related to d, s, th; as in tug, duke; two, dual, L. duo; resin, L. resina, Gr. "rhti`nh, tent, tense, a., tenuous, thin; nostril, thrill. See {D}, {S}. {T bandage} (Surg.), a bandage shaped like the letter T, and used principally for application to the groin, or perineum. {T cart}, a kind of fashionable two seated wagon for pleasure driving. {T iron}. (a) A rod with a short crosspiece at the end, -- used as a hook. (b) Iron in bars, having a cross section formed like the letter T, -- used in structures. {T rail}, a kind of rail for railroad tracks, having no flange at the bottom so that a section resembles the letter T. {T square}, a ruler having a crosspiece or head at one end, for the purpose of making parallel lines; -- so called from its shape. It is laid on a drawing board and guided by the crosspiece, which is pressed against the straight edge of the board. Sometimes the head is arranged to be set at different angles. {To a T}, exactly, perfectly; as, to suit to a T. [Colloq.] | |

T /T/ 1. [from LISP terminology for `true'] Yes. Used in reply to a question (particularly one asked using {The -P convention}). In LISP, the constant T means `true', among other things. Some Lisp hackers use `T' and `NIL' instead of `Yes' and `No' almost reflexively. This sometimes causes misunderstandings. When a waiter or flight attendant asks whether a hacker wants coffee, he may absently respond `T', meaning that he wants coffee; but of course he will be brought a cup of tea instead. Fortunately, most hackers (particularly those who frequent Chinese restaurants) like tea at least as well as coffee -- so it is not that big a problem. 2. See {time T} (also {since time T equals minus infinity}). 3. [techspeak] In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for the noun `transaction'. 4. [Purdue] Alternate spelling of {tee}. 5. A dialect of {LISP} developed at Yale. (There is an intended allusion to NIL, "New Implementation of Lisp", another dialect of Lisp developed for the {VAX}) | |

T 1. True. A {Lisp} compiler by Johnathan A. Rees in 1982 at {Yale University}. T has {static scope} and is a near-superset of {Scheme}. {Unix} source is available. T is written in itself and compiles to efficient native code. Used as the basis for the Yale {Haskell} system. Maintained by David Kranz Current version: 3.1. {(ftp://ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/systems/t3.1)}. A {multiprocessing} version of T is available {(ftp://masala.lcs.mit.edu/pub/mult)}. Runs on {Decstation}, {SPARC}, {Sun-3}, {Vax} under {Unix}, {Encore}, {HP}, {Apollo}, {Macintosh} under {A/UX}. E-mail: E-mail: (1991-11-26) ["The T Manual", Johnathan A. Rees al, Yale U, 1984]. 2. A {functional language}. ["T: A Simple Reduction Language Based on Combinatory Term Rewriting", Ida et al, Proc of Prog Future Generation Computers, 1988]. 3. (lower case) The {Lisp} {atom} used to represent "true", among other things. "false" is represented using the same atom as an empty list, {nil}. This {overloading} of the basic constants of the language helps to make Lisp {write-only code}. 4. In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for "transaction". 5. (Purdue) An alternative spelling of "{tee}". | |
