It's all mathematics, though, isn't it? My point being why would anyone listen to us on how to use mathematical punctuation when we still use a unit of measure ordained in the 12th century as 3 grains of barley taken from the middle of the ear.The metric system is vastly superior, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
When it comes to math, really, we Anglos should just always assume that its us who are the fools.
