Old geezer enjoying spending some time on answers. Enjoy Words & Word Play, Homework Help & Math. Really enjoy sports and enjoying life. If you are a fuddy duddy who takes life a little too seriously you probably won't enjoy my answers too much. I truly enjoy working with people who want to improve themselves and their intelligence. I know a lot but still have a lot to learn at 64. There are no dumb questions - only dumb people. (according to South Park) and I agree.

A question went into voting and there were more votes than usual. I liked it as I got best answer but whatever I think it can be a good learning tool. As Margaret Fuller said "If you have knowledge, let others light their candle at it." Good or bad idea?

e important, especially to beginners who don't understand the CAD rules. There is a big difference between 1/2+y and 1/(2+y) and I know it's omitted at times. Why not ask for parentheses or brackets when a / is encountered?
