K, 'Splains that

Further proof of my winter thesis.

Holy Carp!!!!!! I did it 3 times! Man I am trying to remember what subject you teach, I really hope its not English, because if you do teach English reading that probably gave you a nose bleed and a twitch. ( hangs head in shame) Sorry dude.
And I was going to write back.
"Thier I fixed it for uwe."
But I didnt want to put you in a coma.

Don't sweat it. I teach music. Still, if only you saw the few written assignments I collect, you wouldn't feel bad about the your/you're thing.

Edit: And did I read that right? You can't edit your post just because I quoted it and changed something?

..

no music stands either.

Well I have seen another teacher on here get a little piqued about your/you're and the thier/there/etc. stuff so I am pretty carefull. I thought. But I havent been sleeping so I am getting sloppy. When I do, do it on purpose I try to use the appropriate apostrophy What have you. So its obvious that it ws done for a reason.


OH, congrats to you and your S.o.

No, it was a common lamentation (sp?) from when I was in school that if the teacher marked it with a red pen you couldnt beg forgiveness and make the correction for full credit. Not that I would have tried.

no

Meh, Its no smoke on the water.

man...this thread has ballooned during my absence.

the internet is rampant with spelling errors...
'definately'
its it's you're your distinctions

i thought about it...and my usage of 'gay' is more akin to 'nuts' than it is to any other harsher expletive. It's not like nuts (both varieties) are viewed in a negative light. I just think it's funny due to its anachronistic usage. Same applies to my usage of the word 'gay'.
I think 'gey' and 'ghey' aren't really efforts to break the association with *****exuals, but funny spellings that people use when chatting, etc. I know that's what I used to do...when I was younger...

Anyway.
seriously. how do you calculate gradient?

Is it just the tangent of the angle of the hill? so a 45 degree hill would be a 10% grade? a 60 degree would be about 17%?

Please confirm.

percentage of grade is rise/run

for instance a 1000 foot length with a 100 foot vertical climb would be 100/1000 = .1 or 10%

a 45˚ angle is 100% since rise and run are equal (from trigonometry)

Sorry, do a search, start a new thread, this one is full. K thanx bye

Best post of the entire thread!

Hey Grumpy, so it is possible to have a grade greater than 100%? and to express it as such, 135% grade would be acceptable?

^^^^I am sorry I understand the grade can be greater than 45 degrees but past that is it still acceptable to express it as a grade greater than 100%?

until you reach infinite slope

Yikes! "It's fine" would have been enough. I am going to steal this chart, thats ok, right?

I'm trying to spare you, but I can connect the dots for you if you insist.

Where did I say it bothers me?

I was calling you stupid, by the way.

Does that interfere with your ability to hear the voices ?

I hate when that happens.

I would like to say that umd and I have hashed this out via pm. and that I would like to publicly appologize to him for my part in this misunderstanding. I hope he agrees with this. I would like to say that he did go over and above to work this out with me.
