Sorry, I fixed it. It wasn’t intentional.

This reminds me of some irritation I had while working at Microsoft – words used as variable or function names should be spelled correctly.
If I’m searching for a variable which you’ve told me is called “vertices”, I’m not going to spell it “verticees” in my search – I won’t find this code.

I just had to do something like this. I needed to determine if a point was inside an ellipse. I tried all the fancy math formulas and then by drawing it on a white board came up if the logic that looks a lot like was you have. My advantage was that I knew what the center value of the ellipse was.
