My comment was mostly in jest but I was indeed comparing two different interpretations 3/14 to mean 3.14 and 22/7 to mean the fraction. If anything the fraction interpretation seems more natural to me because of the forward slash.
I'm curious how we could get closer than 22/7. With two numbers and a single operation (the slash) what would you do to get closer? 22/7 seems hard to beat.
