Talk:APL syntax and symbols

Distinguishing Symbol Name from Meaning from Pronunciation
As someone who doesn't know APL, one of the things that confused me about this page was that different sources refer to the glyphs by different appellations without making it clear why. For example, ← has the symbol name "Left Arrow", its function is assignment, and it is pronounced "gets". That's an easy one because it can only be used in a dyadic context. For symbols that can be used in a monadic context, there will be a different meaning and usually a different pronunciation. It would be helpful if that was stated clearly at the top with a chart summarizing the different symbols that this article covers and how they can be referred to in APL. Thank you.
