Default Re: Ok, I have a serious pet peeve...

I think it is understood here that it refers to a "random walk" from the mean. Whether this is the correct usage or not is a matter of debate but when someone writes "negative or positive variance" I think about it that way...there has been a deviation from there average play. What someone's mean play is another subject for debate as well.

Oh and:

Can we please, please, please stop abusing and disusing the word "variance" on this forum.

If you agree not to say "disuse" I won't say variance. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
