Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for November 07, 2016

An expression, of what?

Neunzehn. Diez y nueve. Or maybe 1.9 X 10 to the 1st power.

I wish that was my age. My age is currently 7.0 X 10 to the first power. Being old isn’t the problem, looking old is.

Sum(12,7)

I’d write exactly what Gabby did!!! In fact, I might have even thought to do so, if all of the math I was forced to attempt to learn over the years hadn’t completely short-circuited my poor brain …

12+7 = 19 = old enough to vote and die for this country but not old enough to drink.

I would have appreciated “new math” when I was in elementary school. It was an appeal to the most logical of fields. We were taught/indoctrinated, “That’s what it is, memorize it.”
