Hello,

my problem is more a language problem than a mathematical one, but I really
ran out of ideas on how to find out about this. I have asked friends in the
USA but they couldnt tell me.

You know how you sometimes take x' instead of x because x is already in use.
Or in my case s' instead of s. How do you say that in words?
I mean the " ' " after the s. For example on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_diagram there are lots of those and i
just dont know what to say in my presentation when i come to that.

Thanks alot,

X' is pronounced x dash

A few people say x prime, but that is not common.
