Arithmetic is a very simple subset - a branch, if you will - of mathematics my friend.

If you like misusing the word it's fine with me since your word usage has been known to be (shall we say) "peculiar".

You SQL guys don't seem to grasp arithmetic and therefore CERTAINLY don't grasp mathematics either.

You said "Oh, and it's not mathematics ... it's arithmetic." By you own admission, arithmetic is a subset of mathematics. It is impossible for something to be arithmetic and "not mathematics."

Who misused a word? The only one who's said anything wrong is you.

since your word usage has been known to be (shall we say) "peculiar".

This is where I ask you to show an example of where my "word usage" was "peculiar" and you fail to provide it. This is getting to be a pretty pathetic tactic from the Fanboys.

LOL! But it's not mathematics, it's arithmetic!

Classic.
