@Budwick We could. And at some point we invariably are, as we are each related to the whole human race. I’ve honestly said nothing bad about you. The whole thing was just silly to me.
@DarkHeaven We're good! It's true though - I've never heard the term 'Indo-European'. Some say that makes me a moron. They're all about peace, love, we're all the same - but if I don't know a term they do - I'm a moron.
@Budwick We don’t know what we don’t know. Nobody is a moron unless they chose ignorance. Most people don’t know the entire worlds numbering system is the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. It’s what we all use. It was invented between the 1st and 4th centuries by Indian mathematicians. We are all more connected than even seems possible. Have a great weekend. Light & love.
@Yulianna Thank you. That actually helps. Be well young lady! And your heritage is a great thing to be proud of! Your grandparents must be proud of you.
@Budwick Absolutely. However, I would prefer a base 12 system to the current base 10 one. It would provide more factors and allow fractions to come out even instead of as repeating decimals. It would revolutionize architecture and engineering but alas our whole world is already built on base ten. Oh well.
@DarkHeaven Base 12, eh? The USA has been fighting against switching to metric. Big mistake IMO. I use metric all the time in my workshop. Inches, fractions of inches, feet, yards- jeez nothing is the same! Nothing is easy! Not sure what base 12 would be like. But, at 69, I don't think I'll ever find out.
@Budwick How cool would it be to have fractions of a third come out evenly instead of a repeating decimal. That’s what you’d have with base twelve because it has more factors than base ten. Such as 3 (as with thirds) is one factor of 12. We’ll most likely never see it but in your line of work it would be incredible.
