Ideally, we would treat e^x and ln(x) = log~e(x) as the default. We know that a^x = e^(x ln a), and log~a(x) = ln x / ln a. So if we introduced an operator ^(x) = e^x, and another v(x) = ln(x), we could write a^x = ^xva, a√x = ^(vx&#x2

It considers a line break to break up a sentence. If you move the whole thing to a single line, it will naturally consider it to be far too long a sentence.

Why not have an a-la-carte model instead? Assuming many people only listen to a couple hundred songs per months, at Spotify's per stream rate of .3-.5¢, they would pay a lot less if they only paid for the music they were listening to.
