who here loves math?

I agree. It's the infinity thing

Yes. Where is a photo of O'Reilly when you need one?!

You eat a pi and it's doesn't get shorter! Can't explain that.

LOL!

Hey a bit of respect please, the double entry system is the foundation of modern society, and when the foundation is neglected the whole thing comes tumbling down.

A: Yes, I discovered that through its power of calculating changes in capital, double entry has not only shaped the way we've done business over the last 700 years but has spawned the language of the modern world and is arguably the progenitor of capitalism itself. By 'language of the modern world' I mean the language of Hindu-Arabic numbers denominated in money that governs the global economy. This language is made possible by double entry, through the accounts it generates for corporations and, since the Second World War, through the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accounts it generates for nations. It gives rise to the cost-benefit calculations that rule our daily lives, from our governments, schools, universities, hospitals and entertainment, to the decisions made by corporations, for example, those made by Coles and Woolworths that govern the way we shop and eat. The language of double entry is now so ubiquitous we struggle to imagine it any other way.

Um, yes. Of course.

I think he's in on it...

The word is MATHS.

Both the Oxford and the Merriam-Webster dictionaries say the word 'Mathematics' is plural. The shortened form is, therefore "maths", because the word is still a plural noun and so should still have the "s" on the end. You do not say "Who likes Mathematic", do you?

It must drive you crazy when people say they have to go to "the ATM machine" and then input their "PIN number".

True enough. And another (and let's leave there, their, and they're out of it for now) is 'could of' instead of 'could have'.

Anyway, (and that's not 'anyways' BTW) back to the mathS...

hmm, I like math but I hardly ever pick up my math books just for the fun of it.  The thing I notice beneficial about math though, is that, well people might say something like "when am I ever going to use this" and so never get into it.  But, it's true that you may never do some complex algebra or calc or something in your day to day life, but I've found that I tend to think more logically at times now then before math.  So, it's just excercising that part of the mind, and you never know just where and when that may be helping....

I'm an Accountant so I love Math.

I'm an Accountant, so yeah I love math. 

I was going to say "dejà vú" but I'm guessing this is this a spot the differences puzzle.

I smell a conspiracy.

If you notice how unholy1971 first capitalised the first letter of 'math', it obviously shows an accountant's agenda to deify maths, and make us all worship it (). He later realised his mistake and reposted a very similar message without capitalizing the first letter hoping to lure us in unawares.

LMAO 

Too funny.  Forgive a newbee.

Ah, so I should do could 've then?

Yes, but you should've omitted the space...
