Identities masked to protect the guilty.

To give you an idea of scale, there are roughly 2.5 million votes in this poll.

9 times out of 10 someone calling someone else out for being stupid will make a stupid mistake.

I'd answer the question, but I ran out of fingers and toes. :banghead:

The answer is 30, not 0.

In mathematics order of operations, multiplication is ALWAYS done BEFORE the addition. Therefore 2 x 0 = 0, THEN you add the rest of the 2's.

It would be 0 if THIS were the problem (2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2) x 0

Wanna try that one again? there's a minus sign in there too

Most people don't see what's wrong with the non-word "irregardless." Moreover, most people probably think that a double negative is a math-based term for two minus signs side-by-side.

The biggest math-related weakness currently is a lack of understanding of diverging exponential functions. Plot one function that is growing at one rate on top of another one that is growing at a bigger rate. Now label the first "economic growth" and the second one "debt" and you'll get the idea.

26 is correct.

Order of operations:

PEMDAS = Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction

So using that: I show 26 is correct!

All math aside for a moment, I don't know what is worse... The American peoples general misunderstanding/misuse of the English language, or the fact that because it's so common, it essentially becomes acceptable language.

You hit the two step process perfectly. What's sad is that we arrive at a point where people fail to understand that something is wrong, let alone why.

Please don't mistake my post for saying it's a good word; I only use it when I want to agitate my wife. My post is simply meant to reiterate that it IS a word regardless of how many times Metalord says that it isn't.

The dictionary is a reflection of common word usage, not the bible on what is & isn't a word. I choose not to accept it as a word.

A half year ago there was a similar poll (1+1-1+1*0, etc) with six million some votes that had 60% answered as zero. In the comments all the European and Asian people were getting a headache from the American fuckwhits who were telling them that it was most definitely zero. :blowup:

The only difference between this thread and the rest of the CSC is that, here, people are intentionally misspelling words.

My shop gets slammed with work in January every year so i will be to busy to read about people trying to boost their ego's while picking on the weaker more unfortunate and illiterate people of the CSC but don't worry Sean you will forever be in my thoughts!

By the way we need to setup a time and day for me to pickup the back protector from you this wknd does tomorrow work for you?
