No, I'm not, and you're putting words in my mouth.
This:
> I have tried in the past to explain how awesome the ratio is, but it didn't go well because of dumb people.
Does not mean the same thing as this:
> I've tried in the past to explain how awesome the sqrt(2) ratio used as the basis of DIN/ISO page sizes is, but there are some very dumb people on HN.
- teach 12y agoI believe you that that's not what you intended to say. I certainly don't intend to put words into your mouth! But I think you're wrong; I suspect the vast majority on HN read your comment the way I do. The word 'tried' implies an attempt that failed. And in the phrase "I've tried... but...", the part after the but almost always implies causality.
