Default Wonderful example of PC interference and down turn in the standard of education

The message from johannes contains these
words:

No you don't. You were making a point about Numeracy or Arithmetic.
Maths or Mathematics is the wrong word for your examples. Mathematics
is such things like Calculus and Algebra for starters, but is is a
pervasive subject, always has been and always will be. Have you tried
Sizefitter yet? It is free for you; I'm the inventor, author and
programmer.


Johannes, it's best to ignore Mike Crowe. He makes these off-topic
posts so that he can splash his sig. around the net - in the hopes
of enticing people who know no better to attend his reunions.

He also likes to be condescending, as you may have noticed?

He doesn't know the difference between Arithmetic and Maths,
and is too old now to learn. You can't teach someone with a
closed mind, it would be like trying to educate pork...

Is that what smoking does to you?

:-((

Good warning for others.

Johannes has been showing himself up on newsgroups for a very long time now
and he is the one best ignored.

Kindest possible regards.

Mike
