Did they just ignore the spell-check then? If they can't be bothered to check the spelling, what else did they miss?

They might have missed that "signular" could be a meaningless typo (but "convinient" maybe not so much)

> If they can't be bothered to check the spelling, what else did they miss? When needing to split a bill (an exercise in exact simple arithmetic), the tradition at my Uni included an absolute ban on asking a mathematician. Then there is the sort of applied physicist who is satisfied once they have made an even number of sign errors...

    Come to think of it, we also claimed cosmologists are generally happy if their orders of magnitude are correct to within an order of magnitude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__SMDtF_DsY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__SMDtF_DsY (I've heard that although Buck Owens had many solid hits, Barrett Strong could stop traffic. I guess that's why they used to keep C&W charts separate from R&B: because the artists were of different calibres?) Exercise: the Owens 1964 hit "Heart Skips a Beat" is different to the Murs 2011 hit of the same title; is it possible to release an LP's worth of songs, none of which would be appropriate for muzak in hospital? (if so, what would be the most appropriate runout message?)

        In that case may I recommend a low fibre diet (typically of A.E. invertible or at least injective maps) or would that still be too confusing? [If AI can handle scatology so easily, why do we still not have any electro bluegrass worthy of the genre name?

We've noticed our stock's stool gets substantially looser if they get too many carrots/apples during the day, so at <5 carrots/hour we buy ungraded in 10kg nets from the farmer and just use wetware/manual inspection. If we were doing 50'000 carrots/hour (how many hours/day would we need to muck out at that point?) maybe we'd use a Celox system instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LQ7Y3RJtpk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LQ7Y3RJtpk [at 1:36 "Online Software Updates" most of the displays look reasonable, although the 4th from the right suspiciously resembles Matrix-technobabble and the soundtrack is epic; what I'd like to know is why the leftmost column would be using NATO alphabet for a vegetable sorter?

    Speaking of aahimsa, https://i.etsystatic.com/7516795/r/il/67c326/5737917267/il_1588xN.5737917267_qs9z.jpg https://i.etsystatic.com/7516795/r/il/67c326/5737917267/il_1... shows that in 1832, the 5e Arrondissement (and therefore the Hôpital Cochin?) bordered fields (the agricultural variety, not the variety with nonzero inverses), so presumably Galois missed his golden hour in the interval between dawn and the farmer's arrival but received treatment (ultimately lasting just about as long as Trotsky?) soon after. If hygienic plastics had only been a thing back then, what might maths owe to medicine? (maybe a coq to Asclepius, unless the philosophers got there first?) Do you see the People 'sing?

      Hmm nope still think you overestimated Galois' festiness, the question is by how much Steadfastly holding to my finnic/ie approximately dichotomic hemitheology too, fwiw Väinämöinen/Gandalf/elves in general according to jrrt (maybe he's telling us elves are a finnic import?)
