Negatively signed zero echoes the mathematical analysis concept of approaching 0 from below as a one-sided limit, which may be denoted by x → 0−, x → 0−, or x → ↑0. The notation "−0" may be used informally to denote a negative number that has been rounded to zero.

Don't do it half-assed like that. I feel insulted.

On the other hand, I'm quite proud that I made all you people actually think.

I should do more of this, shouldn't I ?
