Fixed example numbering and description

Commit details

• 3 no longer appears twice (the second occurrence should have been 4)
• differentiate between no body and fully-spanning body

Optional further changes

Because I also changed the ordering of the list to be the same as the example slices in the diagram above it, it would be possible to omit the row # suffix for each item in the list.

Feel free to make this change, if you like (you could also ask me to do so, but that feels like unnecessary overhead).

Something unrelated: What's with the umlauts?

I noticed there are extra umlauts all over the place. In this particular document there are the following ones for example:

• whatsoëver
• reörderable
• coëxisting

You appear to deliberately use them on vowels following another vowel, but that is non-standard in English. Additionally, as a native German speaker (who uses certain characters accented with umlauts daily), the ä, ö and ü feel just plain wrong, because those would be pronounced differently than a, o and u. (ë and ï would fine from that point of view, though still unexpected).

What's your point of view on this? I could replace them if you wanted. I assume the relevant directories would be book/ and doc/.

About the extra umlauts issue: I just noticed that there is PR 198: Remove extra umlauts on a and e in english words that fixes this issue for two of the five vowels with extra umlauts.

Hi! I apologize for the long delay; I have had a very stressful winter and have not had the time or energy to check this repository in a timely manner. I'm trying to catch up now.

This is why I write Like That. It's a long-running bit that I go back and forth on whether I should continue in work intended for general public consumption or not.

I do think this is a better breakdown of the diagram; thanks.

Hey, I'm glad you agreed my PR was an improvement and merged it.

PS: I appreciate your reply regardless of any delay, also thanks for the link to your reasoning about our use of diæreses – very insightful.
