Fractions still make me queasy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can we not move onto decimals? Why do we need fractions again? Ixnay!

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I have no idea why we need fractions, honestly. I'm just insanely excited that I understand how to add/subtract/multiply/divide them, even if it is completely non-applicable to my everyday life. Knowledge makes me happy!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good for you, zuisa!
Why would anyone want to limit themselves to decimal representations when fractions are so useful and clear? Bewildering.

Blah, fractions. I only like them for measuring cups. Decimals all the way for math!!
Ugh. I've been spending the last hour arguing with my stomach. I think I had too much pork roast on my plate, which was so good, I kept eating it past the 30 minute mark that I should have stopped at. I had him put three small pieces on my plate instead of two--big mistake. I ended up eating about 2 1/2 slices, and I now have a sore stomach, a stopped-up-feeling throat, and a headache. Ugh.

Need fractions for carpentry.
Nonian, that is horrifying, and I echo Liese's appreciation and awe for what you do.

Do European carpenters use fractions?

Dunno. Never carpentered in Europe. Probably not.
