I was educated up to PhD as an experimental physicist, but most of the time I spend as a lecturer of classical physics to undergraduate students of engineering. Therefore, I am getting help at TeX forum in order to prepare materials for students, and giving help at physics forum due to my experience as a lecturer. Consequently, my answers are oriented on students and explaining basic physical knowledge, which means that I am much less concerned about deep theoretical questions on principles, which are prevalent on StackExchange. Cheers!

How to place a node in the middle of an arc? Thank you for your answer. Since you are already acknowledged with the CSV version, is it possible to make node in the middle of the arc, but on left or right side of it? Like [midway] and [midway,swap] when driving lines? If not, I will open request on TikZ development. |

How to place a node in the middle of an arc? What exactly means csv version - does this mean this option is going to become official at one point? |

A pendulum clock problem I don't quite understand your comment. I do agree that fixed case is physical pendulum. I just say that loose case is equivalent to mathematical pendulum. |

Was/were exception rule Oh gosh, no dialects. This is 7th grade primary school, no dialects should be taught there. |

Was/were exception rule Maybe there is some sort of misunderstanding between my kid and her teacher. But as far as Googling is concerned, I'd like to point this: indeed there were many fake results like "was. She and her sister...", but there were also plenty of "right" ones "Was she and her sister...". Maybe we're not talking about special rule but common mistake? |

Was/were exception rule @Chris I just wanted to say, that before Googling I was about to disregard teacher's strange rule as a mistake. But after Googling I was so surprised I saw no other possibility but to ask English speakers themselves. |

Was/were exception rule I always do some research before asking. And the most curious thing was that Googling "was she and her sister" gave many times more hits that "were she and her sister". After that I really became curious. |

Was/were exception rule That's why I'm asking. Actually, I did some Googling on the web, and there were plenty of "was she and her sister", which made me even more curious!! |

"Can" or "may" and "have to" or "must" Thanks a lot! All this makes much more sense to me now. I shall accept your answer in two days, because if I do it now, I might miss an interesting comment from someone else. |
