I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Or maybe I should stop talking about football. Jeesh.

But that doesn't cover picking between two valid words. It doesn't seem to work out that *this* is how you enter "they're" and this is what swyping "there" looks like. For you.

Exactly, yes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Any of the math peeps around? -t, you're usually pretty good at this. (Football? What football?)

The problem is:

Solve for h: 2A-hb1=hb2

Augh, coding. The 1 and the 2 are subscript.

Because books.

My sister tossed Swype ASAP.

I hate it. I don't get it, and I sometimes turn it on accidentally and panic. Do not like.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

h = 2A / (b1 + b2).

h=2 A/(b1+b2)

And what does the subscript mean? (Look, math classes were a long time ago, don't judge me.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Mine does. If I type ill, it gives me "I'll" as a choice; same with there, they're and their.

I am so glad the mathy people got the same answer.

Football blackout rules are nutty. CBS switched to a different game right before the field goal, and Sunday Ticket had the game blacked because it was "locally available" until after...

Subscripts don't really have a set meaning, they're just labels. Usually it's two instances of the same measurement. That looks like maybe geometry, so maybe the lengths of the top and bottom sides of a trapezoid?

Eta: it's a relief to me, flea! Algebra, it works.
