Quick, do it before I run out of oxygen!

That's still infinitely ahead of where I am as all I did was GCSE maths!! Emre trying to stand up in the Atlantic would be less out of his depth than me currently! lol.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

I really hope we can get this off the ground. I feel like writing a comedy sketch - if only we pull together Kobolok's programme, your maths skills, some software to pull the attributes on mass and mug of a coffee, we'd be set!

The thing about Maths jargon is I know the language so for someone with less exposure to it might think I'm a genius. But someone who knows about it may recognise that I am in fact talking through my arse (this isn't a conscious decision driven by ego but more to do with my sieve like memory and it's limited capacity. Much like Homer Simpson learning new things tends to push other stuff out ). So someone with a PhD or currently studying Maths may well read what I wrote and pull me up on it.

No more then if you were to write some legalese it would probably sound to me as if you know a great deal about it, when in fact you could be talking rubbish but I'd be none the wiser (I have a vague recollection of reading in one of your posts that you're a lawyer/studying law, or am I just making that connection because of your screen name? Either way you could substitute anything you know alot about and I know knothing about in 'legalese' in the the sentence and the point would still stand.)
