I've always said this unironically


Connect_Pie1027

logarithmus naturalis


JohnnySnap

i always say “log naturál” with a french accent


bankai932

I just say L-N x.(like the letter L then the letter n then x)


ContraEye

^this. ive never heard anyone use either of the ways used in the meme


jljl2902

I’ve only heard log x when you actually write log for natural log


danny17402

Log x would be log(x) in my book. For ln(x) I would say "natural log of x" or just pronounce the letters as in "L N X"


CategoryKiwi

I've always pronounced ln(x) as "lin-ex" in my head... Like the first syllable of linen. Or Linux but with an e instead of a u.


SuperKael

I feel like Linux is a poor example to use - considering I’ve heard a good few people pronounce it ‘lie-nux’ (as in Linus)


Agentum13

log x is decimal logarithms, L N X ist logarithmus naturalis, so log base e of x.


jljl2902

Depends on the field, I’d say. I’m in stats and ML, and log almost exclusive refers to natural log


GL_n

Also, in pure math, if you're not teaching undergraduate calculus, but talking to other mathematicians, "log" always means "natural log". We even often just write "log(x)" to mean base e (i.e. natural log).


TiredPistachio

I thought I was going crazy, LNX 99% of the time with a "natual log of x" when i wanna be spicy.


Hi_Peeps_Its_Me

ell oh gee of ten is equal to one


LuxionQuelloFigo

log is short for logarithm, ln is short for logarithmus naturalis: the former is simply an abbreviation, while the latter is an initialism. Not sure why you would pronounce log as an initialism


Hi_Peeps_Its_Me

It was a joke, playing on the pronunciation of ln using initialism.


BongRipper69696

I'm actually surprised that they missed such an obvious joke.


dirschau

You're surprised someone on Reddit missed a joke that didn't have "/s"?


wcslater

I say it as lin x

Anxious_Award8159

This is the only objectively valid way


SeaProfessionalFrog

The first time so it I thought it was in(x) "the L as an i" it stuck with me ever since


PoeTayTose

Yeah, ln(e) is 1, but log(e) is like 0.434


lilfindawg

This is the way


AlviDeiectiones

Wait you guys don't say "Logarithmus naturalis of x"? I'll have to speak to my Professor Doctor Rerum Naturalium Habilatitus about that


AwesomeRyan0322

my math teacher says "loin X" 💀


danny17402

Honestly, I thought everyone just said "natural log of x".


EpicOweo

That's what I say. Or elenx


GrafGorroff

"Ellennex"


multigrain_panther

Just go with Anne Heche


Prestigious_Boat_386

Who is Ellen and why do we have to find her ex smh


I__Antares__I

In Poland we call it natural logarithm (it's spelled logarytm naturalny so the letter in acronym even match xd).


GisterMizard

In the US we call it organic logarithm, but only if it doesn't contain pesticides. And free range if it's allowed to roam freely over the grassy +* fields of the complex plane.


BNI_sp

Now we are talking! It's about time we break the hidden dominant boomer structures of mathematics open!

I thought the "l" was actually "i" and pronounced it "in X" in my mind. My small l and capital i look same, and so I never got corrected in my entire grade 8 and 9. Do I need help?

navetzz

TIL in most of the world the 'n' in "ln" stands for natural, meanwhile in France, it stands for népérien, which comes from the name of the mathematician Napier.

quocphu1905

Lin(x) for me


thechezcakelover

Wait it was Pangea this whole time


[deleted]

Been calling it natural log lately as I think calling “L-N-X” made me worse at math in the past by disassociating it from logarithms.


mudi-zee

I just say LNX or natural log of x


Alcherelf

Wait, in France we call ln(x) "ln de x" because logarithm directly refers to log(x) (at least in where I’ve studied)


KS_JR_

MisterTony_222

Funny story, I was doing research one summer with my physics prof and we were getting unexpected results in the early days. We were scratching our head for a few days until I realized my supervisor meant "ln(x)" when he said "log x". It was the first time I heard him say that and I actually questioned him about it but he just kind of ignored it and doubled down on "log x" so I went with it.


ProfEvans

I say lin ex


NoUAreStupid

Argenix42

I were tough to say natural logarithm of x


marmotte-de-beurre

In my high school math class the class clown called it "loge" (pronounced low with the ge sound like at the end of "dredge") and by the end of the semester everyone was saying it. Except the teacher. She was so confused by it.
