Waaaait! Gary never said that! You're just pulling random Simpsons quotes together as a replacement for being witty!

As long as she keeps sending me three copies of everything in my subscription, I'm all for her being in charge.

It never ceases to hack me off that it's socially acceptable for an adult to say "Math is hard" and yet if they said "I sure do have trouble with reading and writing" folks would look at them strange. Math(s) (I'm British) isn't hard - teaching maths in a way to inspire kids to learn it rather than giving them a life-long phobia of it does seem to be though.

Sorry, pet raw-nerve touched. I've ranted about this on the BBC before now. No offense or personal attack intended.


Reading has a lot more room for error. You can misspell most things and still have the word understood, and even if the word is missing or you misread it the context will let you know. Math usually results in 1 number on its own.

Also, i suppose the English equivalent would be "I'm a horrible speller", which passes without comment the same way math does.

I think that's the problem - make a mistake and you are wrong, no room for debate. We've conditioned kids to think that wrong is bad. But wrong is learning.

I always say that I'd like to recruit engineers that have made every possible mistake once already, but none twice.

You have a good point. I might create an OTD thread for this so as not to derail further.

Or she recognizes that you have Evil Mastermind credentials and thus are pointless to interrogate.

  • Sara Marie
  • Justin Franklin
    You have favourited a post with three asterisks in it and only one speech mark. For conspiring with Cosmo in his crime against sound punctuation, your names will be noted (alongside his) by the clerks of the nine Hells.


  • I disagree.

    (From chat)

    Chris Lambertz continues listening to GWAR to block out unseemly-ness coming from CS

    Ross Byers: Good idea.

    Cosmo turns on Peaches

    Chris Lambertz: are you saying you have a problem with bringing back the bomb?

    Cosmo: not at all

    Chris Lambertz: because I'm having a war party over here

    Cosmo: I was just implying that I can take hte unseemliness up a few notches if you would like.'

    Megan Armezzani: please don't

    Chris Lambertz: there is very little that is more unseemly than GWAR... so I have my doubts

    Cosmo: ...perhaps you are not familiar with the works of the artist known as Peaches?

    Chris Lambertz: I'd link a picture, but HR would beat me up

    Cosmo: click this link. I dare you: [CENSORED]

    Cosmo: I'm familiar with GWAR

    Chris Lambertz: so you know about the cannons?

    Cosmo: The [CENSORED] cannons, or the [CENSORED] cannons?.

    Chris Lambertz: both

    Chris Lambertz: at the same time

    Cosmo: right

    Cosmo: yes

    Cosmo: and the goblet that the dude [CENSORED] and drinks, then [CENSORED] .

    Chris Lambertz: and people being [CENSORED] ?

    Cosmo: right

    Chris Lambertz: and the encore?

    Ross Byers closes this window.

    ***Ross Byers has left this chat.***

    Chris Lambertz: the encore is brutal

    Chris Lambertz feels somewhat bad

    Cosmo doesn't

    Cosmo: :D

    Chris Lambertz: well, you're Cosmo

    My immediate first thought was to consider selling aural armaments to both Cosmo and Chris in an ever-escalating spiral of Mutually Assured Distraction.
