SS

Read a random definition: presentation

A quick definition of SS:

SS is a short way of writing different things. It can mean sections, signed below, without, or mistakenly scilicet. People have been using it for a long time, but nobody is sure where it came from. Some people think it comes from the gold letters on the Lord Chief Justice's collar. Others think it's just a fancy way of dividing things up. In modern times, it's used to stand for different government programs like Social Security Administration, Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplemental Security Income, and Selective Service System. The word "stabilize" means to make something firm or keep it at the same level, like keeping prices the same.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: SS is an abbreviation that can mean different things depending on the context. It can stand for:

  1. Sections
  2. Subscripsi (signed below)
  3. Sans (without)
  4. Scilicet (namely, to wit) - although this is an erroneous use of the abbreviation

One possible origin of the abbreviation is from the two gold letters at the ends of the chain of office worn by the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. However, it is more likely that it is a flourish that comes from the Year Books, which is an equivalent of the paragraph mark.

Examples:

  • "Please refer to sections 3-5 in the report (i.e., ss. 3-5)"
  • "I have subscripsi (signed below) the contract"
  • "The document is to be submitted sans (without) any attachments"
  • "The report includes the following information, scilicet (namely), the budget and the timeline"

These examples illustrate the different meanings of the abbreviation SS in different contexts. In the first example, SS stands for "sections" and is used to refer to specific parts of a report. In the second example, SS stands for "subscripsi" and is used to indicate that the person has signed the contract below. In the third example, SS stands for "sans" and is used to indicate that the document should be submitted without any attachments. In the fourth example, SS is used erroneously to mean "scilicet" and is used to introduce specific information.

if i was Tex I wouldn’t worry about index numbers. they’re just LSAT and GPA reformulated into an index. you’re above them. end of story
texaslawhopefully
12:17
Yeah, that’s fair. And clearly being above them is meaningless

the index seems applicable for splitters or low score ppl.
12:20
to assess their value to each school
12:20
Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
yeah tldr mathy astrology for admissions lmfao
12:21
but but but correlation within the data set always is causation. -155 scorer be like
12:22
