- acjohnson55 9y agoOops! Forgot about that. I assumed the OP was griping about Common Core. BTW, "not even wrong" is a rather rude way to point out a misunderstanding.
- mathperson 9y agoyeah it is a bit rude..sorry! I just get very few opportunities to say it- and I was like yo- this is a good chance. Are you familiar with the history of the term? with pauli?
- acjohnson55 9y agoYeah, I'm familiar. To be fair, it was a good opportunity. Well played :D
