yes...yes these things as they appear as ratios of realchriswasanon wrote:Oh God, it's not the "Isn't that right donkey," story again?
In maths the lowest common denominator of 2, 3. 4 and 6 is 12? Right?
Yet the highest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6. Which is lower I think.
So you are in fact wrong to be talking of lowest common denominators.
Don't worry I got those factoids out of a book and I'm not at all sure that I understand it.
What do you make of it? I get the impression that you get on well with numbers and math(s) and arithmetic.

Here's what Amy Winehouse would do to this threadchriswasanon wrote:I knew that you were stretching it into a metaphor. I was just curious as to why this bit of lazy English journalese is now taken as the Gospel, when it makes no sense.
I mean I think it comes from a desire to call something "low," which Eric Partridge in his Dictionary of Slang was more than happy to use and I quite like.
For instance Partridge would say that the phrase "fuckpig" as an epithet was low.
I believe I read in another dictionary (not Partridge) that a "fuckpig" " - was an:
"extremely unpleasant person."
I found that hilarious. At 14 such things are very amusing when you should be learning your times tables - sigh.
When did Rotter say he was Gay, are you sure? Breathless mode /on or \off
Sorry Shloe I gave up cigarettes 5 weeks ago and all this weird annoying clever sod pedantry is my withdrawal in full flow. I really do by the way have problems with numbers! I know what an LCM is though and it's not the Lunar Command Module either.
Give this thread a shot of Xanax it will soon rally round.
God the Twilight Zone is available on DVDs now. I've been watching a few and I can't get over how strange Rod Serling's eyebrows look.
Cheers.
