I don't want to sound mean but decimal points are like primary school stuff.
I could understand if your European and using a american scale.
Merkevar, you know I like you a lot and I think you're hilarious and a great asset to this site.
With that in mind, hang in tight for what I'm about to say next, because I don't really want to say it, but it is sticking out like a sore thumb for me.
Do you not see the slightest bit of irony in the fact that you just admonished someone for not having an elementary school-level skill...while incorrectly using the word "you're," something my son was tested on early in the school year and expected to pass? He's currently in the third grade, by the way. (And yes, he passed.)
Psst: Also, it's "an," not "a," "American site." (Capital A.) Other things my third-grader would be marked down on and probably ashamed of.
This little guy daydreams about what's beyond the cosmos, asks me what "nothing" looks like and if it's all dark, isn't dark black, and isn't black something?, reads junior high school level books and this past week informed me that his favorite pasta was "the cylindrical kind...I can't remember what that's called", sucks...and I mean SUCKS at math.
My husband sticks out like sore thumb around here. He is truly, almost frighteningly good at math...at all aspects, all categories of math. We jokingly call him Rain Man and chant "82, 82, 82" whenever he tells us that today we're 62% closer to going away on vacation than we were last Wednesday (or whatever strange math he quick-jobs up in his head at any given moment). When we first moved to SoCal, he gave me his resume to edit. School: USC...not too shabby. Best of educations. One of many corrections I made was where he stated he was on the Honor Role. God that would have been embarrassing. Overall, his IQ was, as of last (officially-administered...not via some silly internet site) count, 149. Not shabby either, IMO. I doubt his inability to spell quite a few words (don't tell him I said that) makes him thick as a tree any more than my lack of math skills makes me thick as a tree. I mean come on.
Honestly, not to hop on my very high horse but can the holier-than-thou-meter go up any higher on this thread?
We are ALL good at some things..and truly suckful at others. It's a fact of life.
If we're going to show our superiority, we might try to do so by not splashing our credibility right into the toilet with an elementary school-level faux pas or two, or three. (Or as an alternative, hey, how about this? I know it's a little crazy, but...how about we get over trying to make ourselves feel superior and understand that the next person probably ISN'T useless; indeed, isn't any more useless than we ourselves may be, at least if someone's keeping score?) Sure, it's an age-old and much-beloved lather-rinse-repeat to put down the next person in order to assure ourselves that we're not mainstream and dumb as stumps as opposed to all those other (nameless) people, but if you're going for accuracy, this attitude might not fly as much. Your choice, of course; each of us is a free agent.
As for all the tired "What is the world coming to" commentary, that's been bemoaned since Socrates' time and probably earlier. I notice we're all still here. A miracle, eh?
Let's get over it...no, poor math skills don't mean the doom of humanity and failure of the public school system any more, or less, than poor grammar skills do...or poor skills in any one arena. None of us likes to admit it...but we're all pretty average. And any of us could be embarrassed by something.
I suck at math. Truly, wholly suck at it. If you consider me dense as a box of rocks due to that, and if that supposition makes you feel better, I'll give you that, because in that case you probably need it. The OP sucks at math too. That's about all we know about him. Have a good day, OP.
This is a lot of words to say "I don't understand basic math"
It would be, if that were all I was saying.
However, I'll give you a pass for not being able to hang in there with big sentences and so on. As I said...we all have our strengths and weaknesses. So it's all good.
I suppose all those words for the sake of words do kind of throw me. I've never believed in taking a long time to say nothing much. As far as weaknesses go I'll take that over a failure of elementary math.
:flowerforyou:
And you're free to do so even though the entire future of our species seems to focus on communication of all types, but particularly of the written (typed) variety, as evidenced by the explosion of communication technology (which you're using right now); that's your prerogative. As for math, we have, well...calculators.
As for not liking saying "nothing much," I am aware of the dig but I admit it confuses me a little; I said quite a bit. You just weren't willing (able?) to take it in. But again, that's your choice. I'm not going to peg you as stupid (as many are pegging the OP) on just this one basic lack.
I edited what I said above as it came off very harsh; I am quite sure you must have your strengths, as everyone does.
By the way, the flower emoticon was unnecessary in light of the digs. If you're annoyed with me, you are and that's fine. You can be and that's all right, trust me. (That's another one of those communication things.)
Hope everyone has a good night.
So. Many. Words.
To say nothing.

Does this help?

I could understand if your European and using a american scale.
Europeans seem to write numbers like 1.000,00 while everyone else seems to write 1,000.00, I dislike it when trying to use excel, treating it as text instead of a number
Europeans write numbers the same as everyone else
thousand is 1,000 and one and a half is 1.5
Not sure where the idea of European and American scales has come from
Ah, the irony. Most countries (including almost everyone in Europe) actually use a comma as decimal mark. Though there are probably more people growing up with a dot. See here.
Still more about languages than continents: English-speaking countries generally use a dot.
Oh, and I haven't used Excel in years but OpenOffice recognises numerals based on the language you set—doesn't Excel let you change the language as well!?
I don't want to sound mean but decimal points are like primary school stuff.

See now, you're able to be condescending and insult my intelligence just like you accuse everyone else in this thread of doing without hiding in all those pointless words. Isn't that much simpler and yet just as effective (if not more so)?
There is hope for you yet, if you just keep working you'll he able to exude superiority without needing a bunch of words to make yourself look smart or thoughtful. Very promising.

Because on the continent we use the comma as the decimal separator. Etc...

Not sure where the idea of European and American scales has come from
Not in my experience. I have had files from Europe with comma and decimals switched.
I don't know if the number format continues on to scales or not.
This is from Wikipedia
Typically, English-speaking countries employ commas as the delimiter—10,000—and other European countries employ periods or spaces: 10.000 or 10 000. Because of the confusion that can result

Actually, we've kept chugging along for some 250,000+ years with severely lacking, or in many cases entirely non-existent, education among the overwhelming majority of the populace...any populace (overall).
Believe it or not, if anything kills the human race, it probably won't be stupidity. Not if history is any indication. In fact, a little bit of education and above-average intelligence may be our undoing. We're like toddlers with a spyglass, the sunshine and a lot of ants. Really, really stupid people can't create bombs that destroy millions and encourage cancer, for example.
Go stupidity! (fist pump) Who's with me? (looking around, listening to the wind whistle hollowly through the room)
Then again, dear cwolfman, you might make the leap and realize that people can be very, very good at some things, and very, very bad at others. (Now THAT takes an evolved personality.) For instance, I can run circles around nearly everyone I know in a grammar competition...any subcategory of grammar. (Though I'm sloppy about my grammar on the internet; I mean, why bother?) I don't believe the OP is a drooling stump. He probably has heard of decimal points, LOL. He simply didn't realize it wasn't ounces being registered. Sure, that should have been a given, but again...deciding he's a barely-functioning box of rocks may not be entirely fair. JMO.

Yeah no. Even though we use feet and inches, decimal points are still taught in school.

Well said LAWoman. I'm in agreement with everything. I actually used to a terrible grammar nazi, then it turned out that my youngest girl had quite severe dyslexia. She is not stupid by any means, heck on her visual reasoning and pattern recognition she was completing tests for 16 yr olds at the age of 8. She is incredibly smart in her own little areas...
But spelling 'station'? Not a chance. She's only recently grasped the complexities of 'd' and 'b' being different.
Sometimes we need something we can relate to in order to have a little more compassion and understanding.

Are you old enough to be on this site? Maybe go to spark teens instead.
Or are you seriously an adult with access to the Internet and don't understand decimal points?

With that in mind, hang in tight for what I'm about to say next, because I don't really want to say it, but it is sticking out like a sore thumb for me.
Do you not see the slightest bit of irony in the fact that you just admonished someone for not having an elementary school-level skill...while incorrectly using the word "you're," something my son was tested on early in the school year and expected to pass? He's currently in the third grade, by the way. (And yes, he passed.)
Psst: Also, it's "an," not "a," "American site." (Capital A.) Other things my third-grader would be marked down on and probably ashamed of.
This little guy daydreams about what's beyond the cosmos, asks me what "nothing" looks like and if it's all dark, isn't dark black, and isn't black something?, reads junior high school level books and this past week informed me that his favorite pasta was "the cylindrical kind...I can't remember what that's called", sucks...and I mean SUCKS at math.
My husband sticks out like sore thumb around here. He is truly, almost frighteningly good at math...at all aspects, all categories of math. We jokingly call him Rain Man and chant "82, 82, 82" whenever he tells us that today we're 62% closer to going away on vacation than we were last Wednesday (or whatever strange math he quick-jobs up in his head at any given moment). When we first moved to SoCal, he gave me his resume to edit. School: USC...not too shabby. Best of educations. One of many corrections I made was where he stated he was on the Honor Role. God that would have been embarrassing. Overall, his IQ was, as of last (officially-administered...not via some silly internet site) count, 149. Not shabby either, IMO. I doubt his inability to spell quite a few words (don't tell him I said that) makes him thick as a tree any more than my lack of math skills makes me thick as a tree. I mean come on.
Honestly, not to hop on my very high horse but can the holier-than-thou-meter go up any higher on this thread?

However, I'll give you a pass for not being able to hang in there with big sentences and so on. As I said...we all have our strengths and weaknesses. So it's all good.
I suppose all those words for the sake of words do kind of throw me. I've never believed in taking a long time to say nothing much. As far as weaknesses go I'll take that over a failure of elementary math.
:flowerforyou:
And you're free to do so even though the entire future of our species seems to focus on communication of all types, but particularly of the written (typed) variety, as evidenced by the explosion of communication technology (which you're using right now); that's your prerogative. As for math, we have, well...calculators.
As for not liking saying "nothing much," I am aware of the dig but I admit it confuses me a little; I said quite a bit. You just weren't willing (able?) to take it in. But again, that's your choice. I'm not going to peg you as stupid (as many are pegging the OP) on just this one basic lack.
I edited what I said above as it came off very harsh; I am quite sure you must have your strengths, as everyone does.
By the way, the flower emoticon was unnecessary in light of the digs. If you're annoyed with me, you are and that's fine. You can be and that's all right, trust me. (That's another one of those communication things.)
Hope everyone has a good night.
So. Many. Words.
To say nothing.
:flowerforyou:
Does this help?
See.
See Spot.
See Spot...Oh, never mind, that's probably already too much to take in all at once. Probably should have just posted a kitty-cat gif.
Good night, flowers emoticon, etc. :flowers: :KittyCatGif:
See now, you're able to be condescending and insult my intelligence just like you accuse everyone else in this thread of doing without hiding in all those pointless words. Isn't that much simpler and yet just as effective (if not more so)?
There is hope for you yet, if you just keep working you'll he able to exude superiority without needing a bunch of words to make yourself look smart or thoughtful. Very promising.
Oh no, that wasn't condescension. It was simple nastiness. Condescension implies a degree of finesse; of "hiding" one's nastiness, if it were.
You don't seem to like finesse very much. I tossed you the nasty reply all your (attempted) jabs deserved. My post was 100% artless; something more like one would dish out on the playground.
As expected, you liked that much better.
Now THAT was "quick" condescension.
Have a good day. :cuteflowers:
