Hi jlk;
Welcome to the forum! Happy anniversary!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Do not worry, there are still plenty of oppurtunities to fail in middle age and old age.

The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.
