Unsure if… fuck it I’ll just blow it open.

The context is that log~e~ has a shortcut called “ln”, that is L N, said lawn, for “natural logarithm” (but not in English)

And so the joke is that “ln” looks like “in” in this context.

So this is really a font joke, stupid fonts that make the I and l look the same.

I always set my defaults to Tahoma for this reason.

Yes I know the joke. I was just pointing out that the “I” in “in” seems to be capitolized for no reason.

  …it’s not a capital “i”, it’s a lowercase L. Thus the joke; it’s “I’m LN” instead of the usual “I’m in”.

    Yes I know the joke. It’s an “I” in the subtitles I’ve watched the show twice over.

    It appears you do not, in fact, get the joke.

    Maybe they’re going by Emily Dickenson capitalization rules.

In several mathematical notation systems, the most important being APL/J, programming languages inspired to codify “tools of thought” notation as code, the log function is ln. 10&log is base 10 log.
