Why don't we write the logarithm like this? It feels like teaching students what logarithms are is way more painful than teaching roots, but this notation emphasizes that they are perfectly analogous.
I can provide my rough #TexLatex source for this if people are interested.
TIL: "The use of the symbol ∈ (a stylized form of the Greek epsilon) to denote membership was initiated by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano in 1889. It abbreviates the Greek word ἐστί, which means "is". The underlying rationale is illustrated by the fact that if 𝐵 is the set of all blue objects, then we write "𝑥∈𝐵" in order to assert that 𝑥 is blue."

"By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work, a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and in effect, increases the mental power." – Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)

Every now and again I get annoyed that we write the name of the function before the thing it's applied to.
I'd like it the other way round, so that as you read left to right, you read the story of what happens to the input value.
To evaluate 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)), I have to scan all the way to to the right, then work my way back to the left, first applying 𝑔 and then 𝑓 .
I'd prefer to read ((𝑥)𝑔)𝑓.
"But it's called 'f of x'," you cry.
Yeah, but it doesn't have to be, pal!
Why not "x's f"?

New water filter at work. You choose your temp, place your cup, then put your hand over a sensor to start the water and it plays a chime, let's say a high "G" (g6). When you uncover the sensor to stop the flow, it makes another tone. Which do you think it is? Vote below -

So, those of us who were going into "Gahhhh I need to convert all my files to musicXML NOW...err... YESTERDAY!?!?! we have a bit more leeway to adjust. Not the best, not ideal, especially for those of us who have been using it as our sole notation and transcription software for decades, but better than hard cutoff and complete panic.

Composer Friends and Colleagues, new info about 'the End of Finale' music notation software situation:
