Q: Send authors an inbox message if their question gets closed

I think it would really help if you get notified that a question of yours was closed. Especially for the multi-site power user, usually (at least for me) a question is asked and then left alone for while. I rely on the network-wide inbox to tell me when someone has commented or answered, but if ...

What is the probability that if your professor finds this question posted on a site, asking for help, that you'll not be expelled? — Lynn Crumbling 34 secs ago

user259867

@Mooseman feature-request Be more explicit about the manner of disposal, picking a method at random. E.g., "has been bludgeoned with a giant S". Maybe less repetitiveness in the apologies part too.

Mooseman

@Fundamental +1

user259867

@LynnCrumbling It's usually not a problem, honestly -- even if it is homework. Consider that colleges typically maintain drop-in help centers for troubleshooting their students' math homework in lower level classes. From a professor's point of view, there isn't much difference in where the students get help from.

Lynn Crumbling

@Fundamental And he said it's a previous exam question, so no worries..

O (Cyrillic)

O (О о; italics: О о) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. O commonly represents the close-mid back rounded vowel /o/, like the pronunciation of ⟨o⟩ in Scottish English "go". == History == The Cyrillic letter O was derived from the Greek letter Omicron (Ο ο). The name of O in the Early Cyrillic alphabet was онъ (onŭ), meaning "he" or "it". In the Cyrillic numeral system, O had a value of 70. == Form == === Modern fonts === In modern-style typefaces, the Cyrillic letter O looks exactly like the Latin letter O ⟨O o⟩ and the Greek letter Omicron ⟨Ο ο⟩. === Church Slavonic printed fonts ...
