The nice me says that it is not your knowledge and use of english that is stupid, but your insistence that you are never wrong,. . .
...
In that thread someone confused calculations with algebra, and me I confused calculations with calculus.
My confusion is from a foreigner.
The other person's confusion is lack of fundamental education.
Aside semantics of 'calculations' and 'calculus', anyone in U.S. should be able to calculate international meters to Imperial yards conversions like I showed in that thread.
As for you saying that I insist that I am never wrong, I repeat -and count them how many times I wrote this- that:
.) knowledge wise one is proven wrong with data not with sentiments,
and
.) language wise for a foreigner to speak foreign languages with errors that's OK but for people to butcher their native language that's a shame;
me I am fluent in my native language more than people that I correct here are fluent in their native language.
I remember that you sent me an e-mail almost three years ago stating that you are trained in physics in English at the University of Illinois at Chicago and that you know the linguistic difference between 'calculus' and 'calculations';
I followed up on your e-mail by publicly recognizing my linguistic confusion between 'calculations' and 'calculus' and that my method to calculate distance conversions remains an elementary thing to learn.
So I prove wrong your thinking that I insist that I am never wrong.
