Jun 9, 2020 at 3:25 comment added Bill @CATrevillian Maybe you could turn that idea into a service. Once a week subscribers would get an email containing one odd MMA function along with a dozen astonishing ways to use that which you would never imagine, but actual practical uses, not just nonsense. Maybe include a few quiz questions at the end asking how to use that function, graded from fairly easy to completely mind boggling, making you think and expand your skill. I'd subscribe. Sign me up.
Jun 9, 2020 at 2:45 comment added CA Trevillian that is one of my favorite things about Mathematica! I have found myself taking a function I want to learn about, then using it to do as many different tasks as I can! That usually means that there’s another function that just does what I am trying to do, but that takes the fun out of it hah!
Jun 9, 2020 at 2:23 comment added Bill @CATrevillian There are always a dozen different ways to do anything in Mathematica. We can all try to guess what he really wanted. I'm not exactly certain what he really wants from this. Because he shows getting a string out of this I'm wondering if he is going to take that and paste it into something else. Hopefully something in this will help him.

Jun 9, 2020 at 2:14 comment added CA Trevillian You could use Apply[List, ...] to have it strictly be a list, correct? Or, perhaps it starts as a List, does it not? I like this answer a lot, but I think OP was hoping for the List outcome, even if this method might be better. Oh, hah, you literally just edited it. I like the usefulness of Apply[Or, ...] though, too.
