Topic: Three degrees of comparison

	Bert Millichip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was during this time that West Bromwich Albion were the first club to field simultaneously three fl players, challenging the established racism of the English game.
		The young talented three, Brendon Batson, Laurie Cunningham and Cyrille Regis, made a huge impression and became known as the Three Degrees, in comparison to the vocal trio of the same name, marking a watershed that allowed the emergence of a generation of footballers whose ethnic background would previously have excluded them.
		In 1981, Millichip was elected chairman of The Football Association at the start of a period during which the English game was to be rocked by a succession of crises including the Heysel Stadium disaster, the Hillsborough disaster, growing problems of hooliganism, the national team's repeated international failure and the founding of the Premier League.

	English:Adjectives - Wikibooks
		Comparison is a variation of the adjective, to express quality in different degrees: as, hard, harder, hardest; soft, softer, softest.
		The regular method of comparison belongs almost exclusively to monosyllables, with dissyllables ending in w or y, and such others as receive it and still have but one syllable after the accent: as, fierce, fiercer, fiercest; narrow, narrower, narrowest; gloomy, gloomier, gloomiest; serene, serener, serenest; noble, nobler, noblest; gentle, gentler, gentlest.
		The degrees of inferiority are expressed, in like manner, by the adverbs less and least: as, wise, less wise, least wise; famous, less famous, least famous; amiable, less amiable, least amiable.

	Notes on Revelation--Three
		Three lines are necessary to form a plan figure; and three dimensions of length, breadth, and height, are necessary to form a solid.
		Three is the number associated with the Godhead, for there are "three persons in one God." Three times the Seraphim cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy"--one for each of the three persons in the Trinity (Isa 6:3).
		While the "three measures of meal" with which it was mixed and hidden typified the truth and purity of Christ and His Truth, and not the corrupt mass of mankind amongst whom it was introduced.

	Writing course, writing fiction, beginning writers, similes
		The middle level of comparison is the simile, which always turns on the fulcrum of 'like' or 'as'.
		Similes, because the very nature of their comparison removes the reader from the context of your story's action, should be used carefully.
		Be especially stern with similes that evoke a comparison of images (the cheapest type of simile), as opposed to similes of sound, taste, texture or smell.

		In punctuation rules, one finds three major medial marks: comma, semi- colon, and colon, whose orthographic symbolism itself reflects trichotomic structuring (a, ab, and b).There are also three principal terminal marks : period, question mark, and exclamation point.
		The latter marks are allegedly indicators of the three major sentence types: declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory.
		That trichotomy is a cognitive category in the sense that individuals tend to perceive in threes is suggested by the results of experiments in gestalt psychology.

	CHI 97: A Two-Ball Mouse Affords Three Degrees of Freedom
		In three dimensions, there are six degrees of freedom: three for position along the x, y, and z axes, and three for angular orientation (THETA-x, THETA-y, and THETA-z).
		The result is a mouse that senses all three degrees of freedom in a two-dimensional surface.
		We characterise these as having 2+1 degrees of freedom - two positional degrees of freedom, controlled as usual, and a third, but separate, rotational degree of freedom controlled by a finger.
