Angle ∠BAC might refer to any of four angles: the clockwise angle from B to C, the anticlockwise angle from B to C, the clockwise angle from C to B, or the anticlockwise angle from C to B, where the direction in which the angle is measured determines its sign (see Positive and negative angles). However, in many geometrical situations it is obvious from context that the positive angle less than or equal to 180 degrees is meant, and no ambiguity arises. Otherwise, a convention may be adopted so that ∠BAC always refers to the anticlockwise (positive) angle from B to
Many a true word is spoken in jest the editor of the collection Joseph Woodfall Ebsworth: "He goes a wooing, yet the matter's so,"<br> "He cares not much whether he speeds or no;"<br> "'Cause City Wives and Wenches are so common,"<br> "He thinks it hard to find an honest woman."<br> "Be n't angry with this fellow, I protest"<br> That many a true word hath been spoke in jest.<br> "By degrees he layes a wager, money's scant,"<br> "Until five shillings out; then ends his Rant."
