What is wrt?

[kantum]

Hi,

I'm following the tutorial, and you're referring to the rigid-body wrt.

I have no idea what it is, and a quick search on Google gives me answers not related to either gaming nor physics.

Hi! It’s the common acronym for "With Regard To".

WIth regard to what?

I'm no aware of a kind of construct that would put the subject before "to".

Here the usage I found in the doc:

Here a list of example from collins:

[sebcrozet]

Resistance of the body with regard to linear movement. It sounds similar to the example "Her inferiority complex with regard to Royal [...]".

OK, I still think it is confusing, but I get it, the dot in "wrt." is not ending the sentence.

Thanks, I'll be able to understand this part now 😅

Oh, I see! Mmh, we usually do this for abbreviations in French, perhaps it’s not that common in English and we should remove that dot.

To be honest, I think avoiding abbreviation all together is a good option for documentation.
