Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Well I am glad to hear that. I do not like offending people, though sometimes I can be a bit too blunt and that intends to do it. Though I am not one of the people who are terrified to offend people. That's is why I cannot stand the level of political correctness people seem to push. I think that is ridiculous.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Most of them are programmed to think that way. They have little or no free will of their own. PC is in short, garbage! Or rather kaboobly doo.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

My favorite song by the band MGMT. I had it stuck in my head when I reset my password and changed my signature to it.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Oh, that is right. Do not be offended I am the worst at remembering that sort of thing. I always chop off a few years off of people.

Of course. And I already know not to bother asking you're age.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Well, under a constant barrage of that, I have given 2 plausible answers. But no one will believe either of them!

Re: Equations with parenthesis?

Really, but you were still looking at the later ones to know that!

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
No, I am only going by what you said to me yourself. You posted a picture of an old man and told me you looked like him, and then later you told me you were incredibly young.

Oh okay, so then you do not know the exact ages given. That is okay with me.

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Correct a mundo! People can not deal with that age. They shut down, cover their ears, run under their beds.

I do not think anyone can run under their bed. I doubt anyone has a bed that tall.
