TURIN...
My quoted post was meant to be light hearted.
What exactly do you mean by 'light hearted'? Is that supposed to mean that you actually didn't mean a word of what you said?
If you really can't stand me because I don't use high level maths...
I never asked you to use "high level maths". But what I would ask is that you use "accurate" descriptions and examples to explain something. Math is a good way to do that - I suggest you learn a little bit sometime!
I'll stick to normal, conversational English if you don't mind. I seem to hang on to more friends that way.
Hmm... that attitude seems to go hand-in-hand with the attitude that you should explain everything as simply as possible, even if it's not correct. So if your friends are wrong about something you just disregard it? My friends are generally happy to have an engaging discussion and so I don't have a problem with pointing out a potential error in our discussion.
