Typo in article:
Except should be 'accept'.
Not trying to be annoying, but I know people will often find that as a reason to disregard academic arguments.
Thank you very much 🫶. No it's not annoying at all. I'm very grateful not only for the fact that you read the post but also that you took the time to point out issues.
I just fixed it, should be live in a few minutes.
A person not knowing the difference in usage between except and accept sounds like a perfectly reasonable reason to disregard their math skills.
Especially when said person keeps making incorrect statements about Maths and ignores completely what is taught in high school.
The "academic arguments" can be ignored since this is actually high school Maths - it's taught in Year 7-8.
