This is important also...
Move evaluation symbols

I can’t understand that at all
Nice bump
lemme try to show those
In the first one, Black moves first. That allows White to deliver checkmate on the second move.

Black king’s bishop’s pawn one house (f6)
White’s king pawn one house (e3)
Black’s king’s knight’s pawn two houses (g5)
White queen gives mate at the contrary king’s rook’s fourth house (Qh5#)

One book I bought recently uses the piece notation (little emojis of the pieces instead of K, Q, R, etc.), which is difficult for me to parse. And another (Silman) lists two squares for every pawn move ("b3-b4") instead of just the destination square ("b4"), which also gives me pause every time.

Figurine algebraic is standard in many international publications, such as Chess Informant.
I also find long algebraic a little distracting, but those who use it say that it reduces some ambiguity.

Pwnes and bifhops eh?
I guess I've never appreciated the fact that literacy and some standardization of language are two different things.

The letter s has changed over time. The one that looks like an f is in the Declaration of Independence. Also u and v. They seem flipped in some seventeenth century manuscripts. Plurals more often ended in es then than now.

I didn't know that, but I had considered the idea, and noticed there were normal looking 's' letters in other words.
I knew that old writing often had misspellings because people just winged it (and lack of reference material / institutions that enforce it I suppose), but I'd never really appreciated how annoying it would be to live back then when, even as a literate person, reading someone else's work might be very tedious.
when you are keeping notation do you use the newer algabraic (Pe4 or BxC4 way or the descripitve (Pk4 way i use algebraic just want to know what you guys use please answer!
