Talk:2122: Size Venn Diagram
The word league is in a diamond-shaped region, which probably connotes to the baseball diamond.
I think Randall kind of missed an opportunity with the title text: he should have used the new terms as a way to fill the blank areas in the diagram, for instance 'Great Emerald' for the currently empty set Great+Small+Little+Large.141.101.99.221 14:31, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- No, I think the diagram itself is meant to be completely correct. But I didn't check all 100+ combinations. Fabian42 (talk) 14:57, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, I believe the diagram is correct now, but as per the title text Randall will start using new combinations of terms, probably to get their usage mainstream and move the location of the words in the diagram. I'm saying he should have created terms that would fill some blank areas. For instance, his Large Dipper would make Dipper appear in the Big+Little+Large area where we already have League.141.101.99.95 15:16, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- I understood what you said (the first time around) and agree. Randall's title text is to acknowledge or engage the patterns he's discovered in the comic (as usual), and he could do that more thoroughly by making up words that would make the chart more balanced. 162.158.78.100 16:27, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

- He could also have placed “man” between “little” and “big” just to reference the movie ☺
Any such diagram will inevitably have small lacunae. But "Friendly Giant" is a particularly large one. 162.158.63.172 15:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Endian? Scott? Tits?108.162.219.112 15:23, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, what about Little Endian? It's missing! 172.68.143.156 19:28, 11 March 2019 (UT
Besides the transcript of what's in each category, what about a table to explain why the items categorized as they are, like:
| Item | Big | Great | Large | Little | Small |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Island | Hawaii | Cork Harbor, Ireland | Antilles | movie | novel, movie |
| Pox | n/a | syphilis | n/a | n/a | disease |
| White | BC ski resort | shark | pig | n/a | butterfly |
{Unsigned|172.69.62.160}
I don't know why, but the shape of this diagram feels really satisfying to me. Hawthorn (talk) 16:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- For me it’s just hard to look at. Netherin5 (talk) 16:41, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- Came here to say exactly that. The symmetry is really pleasing. I've been considering how effective adding colours would be as well. Cosmogoblin (talk) 17:55, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
- It looks like these style Venn diagrams are generated by http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/webtools/Venn/ ... haven't tried it myself. Don't know if they invented it or took it from elsewhere. 162.158.79.149 21:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Again I wonder if he does these sorts of comics just to see how far we'll take it Cgrimes85 (talk) 16:51, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Uhhh...isn’t the bottom part just the transcript?Netherin5 (talk) 17:08, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Shouldn't this go in the Venn Diagram category? 172.68.132.95 00:10, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Can anyone make the table's cells be more regular in size across columns? 172.68.132.95 00:54, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Done 141.101.104.35 15:28, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
I am disappointed that he only referenced the "little big planet" game but not the "little big adventure" one. 141.101.96.187 08:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
