[madviking]

sooooo we got peyton manning as one of our graduation speakers

 

[choxorn]

And that's a Rant?

 

[SouthernKing]

Whatever the numeral system, someone will complain.

Well, part of the issue is that you're probably the only non-Greek poster here who knows Greek numerals.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, now more people know about it. Divulging science and culture is ahrd work these days when too many people follow Miley Cyrus and her… ilk.

So I'm not someone? I know that I'm not just anyone, but still…

Yes, you are a nobody. Considering that more people complained about Greek Numbers than Roman ones, shows more people don't care too much about Greek numbers. I don't see how they are useful in modern society.

 

[Camikaze]

I'm totally tempted to pull the 'wait for two posters to post before posting again' technicality on you Takhisis for your use of those numerals. And yellow angry face?

 

[Kyriakos]

I am sad about the numeral title too :/

Why did you use the latin stolen Euboean letter so as to type the beautiful N'?

I mean, it is not obvious to all that you used the "latin" one, since it is the same as the superior Greek one. But i am pretty sure you used the latin, so you should be ashamed

 

[Phrossack]

Rant: A noisy, crowded, smelly house, an excess of work, a shortage of time, and dozens more problems, most of which have no realistic solution. Just bloody wonderful. Why do I wake up in the morning?

 

[sophie]

Rant: Latin numerals aren't esoteric enough.

 

[cybrxkhan]

I'm angry this thread's icon is the same color as the raves one, how am I supposed to tell them apart at a glance?

Do it. Let the hate flow through you. Strike down this abomination of a thread title and take your place at the awesome people's side!

Passing over to the dark side...

They are very good at numbering threads in a clearly identifiable way, as well as being more graceful.

Copy the character from the thread title and paste it into Wikipedia. Then see whether you get a redirection to &#925;&#965; or to N.

It is working! The perpetuum mobile! The rants thread that generates rants by itself!

Passing over to the dark side...

Better the black of the clergy than the red of the Stalinist oppressors…

I refuse to read! I'm a college student, I've done enough reading for a lifetime! I will never read! Never again!

Nú means ''Naked'' in Portuguese.

I'm a university student and I deal with reading. It gets easier with time.

Humanities FTW.

So? The name of the Greek letter is pronounced the same way as a certain word which some knights pronounced in a Monty Python film.

Humanities as well (technically Humanities/Social Science, double majoring in History and International Studies - but both have tons of reading of course), but it's the opposite for me - reading gets harder and harder. Well, what I mean is that it's not hard to read, I can read fine and dandy (and extremely speedily compared to my peers) if I must but it's just so much easier for me to get unbearably bored with any sort of reading I come across these days, regardless of whether it's something assigned in class or something fun I want to read in my free time.

Suppose it's just I have extremely strict standards for what kinds of reading I find interesting and engaging.

Lit-crit drop out! Woohoo!
