	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of people widely considered eccentric
		Consider for a moment a typical subject/object relation where the role of the observer is constructed as follows: the observer's (the subject's) gaze (that invisible connection between an observer and the observed) is directed--or rather focused--upon a given object (an apple or a painting--it doesn't matter).
		The eccentric observer is one who acknowledges the limitations of a static, homolographic world-view and embraces instead a dynamic unfolding process encompassing a field of light and texture shot through with expressions of personality and specificity.
		Whether insane, eccentric, or simply bumbling, the mad scientist is often working with some utterly fictional technology in order to forward his or her evil schemes.

	Eccentricity (behavior) Information
		Eccentricity is often associated with genius or extreme creativity.
		In this view, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to "normal" society.
		Behaviour eccentricities have often been classically associated with psychological profiles such as overcompensation, insecurities, childhood issues, sexual issues, repressed feelings, social ineptness, monomania, or a variety of other influences, even if the person would not necessarily be classified as insane.

	Eccentric
		Eccentric is from the Greek for out of the centre, as opposed to concentric, in the centre.
		In astrodynamics, the eccentricity of an orbit can be calculated from orbital state vectors as an absolute value of eccentricity vector or using other methods based on orbital energy and angular momentum.
		In mechanical engineering, an eccentric is a wheel that rotates on an axle that is displaced from the focus of the circle described by the wheel —in other words, a mechanical motion that can operate either as a cam or a crank, depending upon how it is driven.

	People in Economics - Ahead of His Time - Finance & Development, September 2006
		One of Mundell's first assignments during his two-year stay (1961–63) at the IMF was to address the problem of the appropriate mix of fiscal and monetary policy, a subject that was being debated with respect to the United States.
		Mundell considers his major breakthrough to be his 1960 journal article that introduced a model of an economy dominated by two markets: one for goods and services and one for foreign exchange.
		Indeed, he considers that the "impossible trinity," which implies that a country can have a fixed exchange rate and an independent monetary policy if it also has capital controls, is erroneous.

	Do You Speak American . What Speech Do We Like Best? . Beastly \| PBS
		Current dictionaries list catsup and catchup as alternative spellings but fail to note that while the former is still fairly common the latter is rarely used by anyone over the age of ten.
		Some well-educated people do speak poorly, but they are generally exceptions, and most of their mistakes involve difficult rather than common words.
		People who care at all about how words are pronounced (with the expectation of linguist and lexicographers) seem to reserve their most vehement antipathy for NOO-kyuh-lur and it comes as no surprise to me that a whopping 99 percent of the usage panel of Morris and Morris Harper Dictionary of Contemporary Usage (1985) condemned it.
