Re: Classifying Living Things
Hi MathsIsFun;
Please check the spelling of bionomial. I can not find it anywhere. Is that what you intended?

Re: Classifying Living Things
Hi MIF;
The rest looks pretty good but I think you should take a break. Hard work makes me dizzy, even when someone else is doing it.
what are you going to fix?
The spelling of bionomial -> binomial

Re: Classifying Living Things
Hi MIF;
On second thought maybe you should leave it, thus coining a new word. Bear with me, bionomial looks pretty good. It has the prefix bio in it and is superior to just stealing binomial from mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
My brother says that line of reasoning is nonsense.

It was a rather appropriate spelling error!

Re: Classifying Living Things
I am not sure about anything. There is only a probability assigned to each thing I think I have seen or know. Certainty only applies in math and religion. Anyway, that was a joke. I am sure gAr is at home studying.

Again, so? I can send him the message carved on a chunk of stone and send it to him. The only problem is I do not know his exact location...

Re: Classifying Living Things
Yes, so what you are suggesting is time stopping, gravity distorting kaboobly doo. Is it not?
The only problem is I do not know his exact location...
Is that the only problem? You have a large supply of [ ] available? The largest I know of is at [ ], some [ ] pounds of it.
