On a similar note: respectively. Stop using it. "To variables a and b assign values 1 and 2, respectively". Who ever is getting confused here if "respectively"

Who ever is getting confused here if "respectively" is left out?
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoIt's suppose to be clarifying between a=1 b=2 and a = [1,2] b = [1,2] For example "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob" could mean both Angie and Bob get both cookies and brownies. "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob, respectively" clarifies that the cookies go to Angie, and the brownies go to Bob.
