You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I'm flexible

I just like numbers. I have no idea how the American grading system works.

[This is going to be the silliest Edit ever, but see how the digits in my post # are jumbled up consecutive ones, only without the 7? That may mean that Dana should go with the 3.98 without the 7 (or 75) in it. That's my version of an opinion and I'm sticking to it]

Cindy -- we can only hope that the show dies the painful death that shows in that timeslot tend to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There is an actual rule of rounding that if you are rounding from a 5 you go to the even number.

Really? You don't always round up? Huh.

Nope, if it's less than five it stays the same.

3.973 would round to 3.97 but 3.976 should round to 3.98

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, that's my feeling too, but then there are websites out there that say "don't round up! no matter what!" which offends my second-grade self.

Thanks for all the opinions. I went with 3.97 this round, but we're also bugging the academic people we know for their take on it.

And I'm hitting the road for New Orleans, baby!

Jesse, where were you in 2nd grade? you didn't learn that rule?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OK, waitaminnit here. Rounding up from five is not common knowledge?

Sorry, I meant if you're rounding from 5. So 135 would become 140, but 125 would become 120.

Oh, and the reason I poked my head in this thread in the first place: according to the Buffista Calendar, May 19, 1997 was the founding day of the first Buffy thread in TT.

Also, shrift, Yahoo Mail is being a phenomenal bitch, so, in short:

Yeah, I figured. I went ahead with the cheaper flight. Your plan sounds good. If you get a chance, go ahead and get the room for Thurs-Sunday, and we can adjust later if necessary.
