[QUOTE="fresh_42, post: 6814766, member: 572553"] I think the use of word endings is what makes it different. Stochast-ik and Algorithm-ik are nouns and therefore names of science, whereas stochast-isch and algorithm-isch adjectives are. The example of stochastic shows that such a distinction cannot be expected in English. And why doesn't my spell-checker complain when I write stochastics? If it is an adjective, how does the "s" make any sense? I also have a problem distinguishing between basically the same English adjective but two endings, e.g. historic - historical, neurologic - neurological. Where is the **** difference? [/QUOTE]
