Personal infoAbout:
Fulltime freelance provider of outreach and enhancement in maths ... I talk a lot. About maths. I talk about other stuff too, like ballroom dancing, juggling, unicycling, education, engineering, software, and "other things". But mostly about maths. I tend to follow back, but only if you have something in your profile.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. -- Peter Drucker Seems to me that useless isn't the right word. The Nazis were very efficient at murdering Jews, but they should not have been doing it at all, and I would not say that is merely 'useless'. That's something far worse than useless. Seen on Twitter: Any English teacher who uses 'they/them' as a singular pronoun should lose their teaching license. (Think about it ... it may take a moment)   @ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz Oh no, next they'll go after Singular "we" and ban all our math books!  @ColinTheMathmo Because using 'they/them' for the singular is very strange indeed. Especially for non-native. |
