Pointless thread count +1!

have you counted his "tom bishop a god?" thread?

Just saw that one, actually.  That brings his pointless thread count up to ... better put it on a whole line by itself.

I can't even begin to try to read that out loud.

lol.

No, because what you said was this ("and" denotes a decimal point, remember?):

No that would be incorrect. I would have to have said ... and 81 hundreths or 810 thousanths. And is only a conjuctive statement to connect the numbers into one greater number. I could have interjected an and at every 3 decimal places if a chose, and it would still be correct, only gramatically glaring.

"One hundred and thirteen = 100.13" was the way that I was taught.  You have to say "One hundred thirteen" for it to be 113.

"One hundred and thirteen = 100.13" was the way that I was taught.  You have to say "One hundred thirteen" for it to be 113.

Im curious. Who taught you that?

I will be so bold as to predict it was a public school teacher. I make this claim since they typically have a preference they wish to teach as doctrine. But I would really enjoy an honest answer to see if I am correct.

Hey Narcberry how about you stop talking shit about public school teachers

Hey Narcberry how about you stop talking shit about public school teachers

Give me a good reason and I would love to be free of that burden.

Because not all public school teachers are bad

I was taught 113 = One Hundred and Thirteen....

Soz BOG 

I was taught 113 = One Hundred and Thirteen....

Soz BOG 

Only if you assume "and" to be an additive operator ("+"); "One hundred and thirteen" = "100 + 13 = 113".

And, to answer your question Narcberry, yes, my grade school teacher did tell me that, in some cases, "and" can be seen as a flag for a decimal point.  Unfortunately for you, you went by grammatical rules (as in, the rules for a list of items) and not by mathematical rules (written form of numbers).  Examples:

Two billion, sixty-five million, three hundred forty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty-five.
Two billion, sixty-five million, three hundred forty-eight thousand, seven hundred thirty-five.

Doesn't matter. They are both the same to me. If you say "point", that indicates to me a decimal point.

A point is not enough, in my opinion. Units must always be stated, unless the units are "ones". As in 12 thousand and 2 ones to represent 12,002. Ignoring units is the biggest cause of mathematical error.

I don't think I was taught to say anything other than point for a decimal, and for the tens.

1 million, three hundred and 4 thousand, 5 hundred and 2.  (1,304,000,502)

1 million, three hundred and 4 thousand, 5 hundred and 2 point four five seven. (1,304,000,502.457)

I don't think I was taught to say anything other than point for a decimal, and for the tens.

1 million, three hundred and 4 thousand, 5 hundred and 2.  (1,304,000,502)

1 million, three hundred and 4 thousand, 5 hundred and 2 point four five seven. (1,304,000,502.457)

I agree, "point" can only mean a decimal. However, units should be stated to avoid confusion. But I guess thats just a preference.

*sigh*

ok, you can shut the fuck up now lamer.
