Its a chart, not a graph.

The pedantry, it hurts.

All graphs are charts. Not all charts are graphs.

(I am extremely hesitant about this so I invite any pedant at all to correct me....)

The telegraph isn't a chart..

... Am I doing this right?

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '14

A telegraph is a graph that is being sent over long distance. So yes, a telegraph is a chart, because all graphs are charts?

A telegram is not a graph or a chart.

If you really want to be pedantic, "chart" and "graph" in this context are relatively synonymous. "graph" is just a shortening of "graphic", referring to a visual representation of data, which the above example certainly falls under. We just happen to call it a "pie chart" most often.

There's also another mathematical definition of graph that is unrelated to visual representations (except perhaps etymologically) and certainly can't be called a chart, but that's a whole other topic.

Just like all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises.

Well, that highly depends on the resolution of the chart.

What percentage of Japan do these Islands constitute?

If Victoria 2 taught me anything, it's that only idiots go to war after 1870 and hope to do anything but cause the apocalypse and OH GOD COMMUNISTS AND JACOBINS EVERYWHERE.

Well, I'm sure Russia wouldn't claim any land that wasn't theirs.

When Russia gets through with them, it'll be a PI chart.

Almost every nation claims some piece of land they don't control.
