So after Michael's call for more submissions from female poets, we've seen a surge of those. Which is good. What bugs me is what happens after the first issue comes out and that parity of submissions declines.
The MLA doesn't cover that. Neither does the APA or the Chicago Manual of Style. When using a possessive (apostrophe s) with a link, should the possessive marker be included in the link as well or not.
Ordering on FNAC from the US will apparently alert the fraud department of your bank. And then there's the humongous shipping fees. I need to find another place to order foreign books. Clay?
So apparently, ancient Greek mathematicians did not have separate markers/symbols for their numbers. They did most of the calculations with the full words. So basically, 5x10 would be written as Pente times Deca. Until they got tired of it and just wrote Pente as capital Pi. Imagine the confusion between capital Pi (5) and lower case pi (3.1415956 ...). Then they decided to give numerical values to their letters (alpha=1, beta=2).
And Indian mathematicians of the 9th century AD had twenty words for "zero."
Funny mathematicians.
