snitching #9, one can never have too many lilac icons, even as May is oh so many months away...

[musicianatheart.livejournal.com]

[abigail-nicole.livejournal.com]

I hate to break it you, but in 13, causalty is not a word. Perhaps you meant 'casualty'?

Yes, it is - you missed the "i" in it

"Causality, or causation, is the relationship between causes and effects. In common parlance, an event or state of affairs A is a cause of an event B if A is a reason that brings about the effect B. For instance, one might say "my pushing the accelerator caused the car to go faster". But this definition is somewhat circular; what does it then really mean to say that A is a reason that B occurs? An important question in philosophy and other fields is to clarify the relationship between causes and effects, as well as how (and even if!) causes can bring about effects.

David Hume held that causes and effects are not real (or at least not knowable), but imagined by our mind to make sense of the observation that A often occurs together with or slightly before B. All we can observe are correlations, not causations.

See also post hoc ergo propter hoc; Synchronicity; Linear regression; Global warming controversy; Interaction; Placebo; Logic;

Real or imagined, Attribution Theory is the theory concerning how people explain individual occurances of causation. Attribution can be external (assigning causality to an outside agent or force - claiming that some outside thing motivated the event) or internal (assigning causality to factors within the person - taking personal responsibility or accountability for one's actions and claiming that the person was directly responsible for the event). Taking causation one step further, the type of attribution a person provides influences their future behavior."

and on and on...

I am taking # 11 and # 13 for future use. Thank you!

[abigail-nicole.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

And for the lovely philosophical lecture on casuality. ;) I'm glad I'm not a philosopher.

Taking #7, thanks!

Snagging numbers 7, 10, 12, and 13.

[fenrah.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Love 'em. Taking 8, 11, 12, 13. I am new to this community. How does one go about crediting someone for an icon?

[abigail-nicole.livejournal.com]

Usually by putting their username in the keywords or comments, I'm not picky about either.
