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

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.
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.

Sigh. Ran the September 5k today, and FELT like I ran quite a bit more than before...and was still almost a full minute slower than my July one. BOO! Now I'm all grumpy about it. I was really hoping the clock time was pretty far off the chip time, but apparently not. GRRRR.

Casper (4th grade) had homework on factoring and least common multiples recently, and it took a couple of minutes but I did manage to pull those concepts out of the basement of my brain. Soon I expect to be turning to Khan Academy (or, you know, my PhD in engineering husband) if she needs help. And I was good at math (Calculus A-B 5 in high school, baby!)

At least one of them is named Don King. That amuses me.

Must gird my loins and go back to Khan Academy (KHAAAN!) to try and finally figure out fractions. Sure, 40 years later, try to make sense of this stuff. But I hate staring at equations and feeling like an ignoramus.
