Mathematicians and computer scientists will also say
"for all" / "there exists" instead of "every" / "there's at least one"
"let" as an imperative for establishing facts
"fix" for choosing a value
"given" instead of "if"
"modulo" instead of "except for"
"if, and only if," when the occasion warrants it
"implies" instead of "means"
"trivial" without intending to be mean
"yes" when asked an "or" question
"transitively"
"by symmetry"
"it follows"
"canonical"
It's a lovely, concise language.
You can say a lot with few words when you have rich definitions.
