Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

Mathematicians know wolfram is wrong and it was warned in my maths degree that you should "over bracket" in WA to make yourself understood. They tried hard to make it look like handwritten notation because reading maths from a word processor is typically tough and that creates the odd edge case like this.

1/2x does not equal 0.5x or it'd be written x/2 and I challenge you to find a mathematician who would argue differently. There's no ambiguity and claiming there is because anyone anywhere is having this debate is like claiming the world isn't definitely round because some people argue its flat.

Sometimes people are wrong.

In modular arithmetic you can make 1+1=0 but I'm struggling to think of a situation where 1+1=1 without redefining the + and = functions.

Not saying you're wrong, but do you have an example? I'd be interested to see

I don't get this mentality. I've rented for over a decade and always wall mounted my TVs. It's not tricky to unmount and fill in 6 or 8 holes with a bit of filler.

Do some renters really not hang pictures or put up shelves either? The effort to correct it is probably less work than it is to hang in the first place.

Not sure I agree there, the term win/win suggests they've listed both possibilities and both are a win. It implies a no lose scenario and therefore that all options have been presented.

Buying a lottery ticket I could win £10 or I could win £10 million, it's win/win!
