I guess Detroit public schools never taught you the words, “rounding,” or, “pedantic.”

One thing I learned going to Detroit Public Schools is that words mean things. In arithmetic, we didn't round numbers to the nearest tenth or so. Also, I had a machine tool class where we had to hold tolerances to +-.0003 (three-thousands of an inch. If I rounded numbers the way you do or did, I would have received a failing grade. I am still very precise in the language and math that I use in my everyday life. Best regards. Gig
