Change "Tangent" to "Sangent" because math

This is a petition to change the math term "Tangent" to a much more logical "Sangent". In trigonometry, we learn that there there are 6 trigonometric functions, Sin, Cos, Tan, Csc, Sec and Cot. When matching up the opposites it goes Sin - Csc, Cos -Sec, and Tan - Cot. The rule of S to C can help you remember that Sin goes to Csc, and Cos goes to Sec, but this rule is broken with Tan and Cot. Therefore by changing Tan to San, we can succesfully keep this rule in play. Besides, I need to prove to my math teacher I can do this.
