You know you're in a forum of programmers when you implicitly switch a noun from plural to singular in a parenthetical remark and instead of inferring the meaning based on context, someone feels the need to correct you.

I figured an explanation of what the common greeks were would help folks without a financial background understand how it's possible to work backwards from them to an updated price. Sorry if it didn't come across that way @alex_smart!
