Commonly occurs; I am sure. ---

Commas are important. For example: I was walking past a farm and a sign said, “Duck, eggs.” I thought, “That’s an unnecessary comma…” – and then it hit me. ---

The first TI’s we used at school had a poor contact damping (circuit), meaning you hit the 9 button once but it showed 9999. Couple of those ended up scattered all over the wall or floor, such issues can drive you mad, especially when you are already stressed out during your science exams trying to solve those functions (equations). ---

Nope they don’t, but they also don’t make your life easy trying to resolve the natural function or calculating square roots, although Square root of 9 is 4 I don’t need a TI for that, or do I. ---

I own a classic HP 35s in new condition and complete with manual. Every once and a while I take it out of the box to massage the keys and keep it limber. And simply to admire my prize. RPN rocks. ---

I have a functioning 28S that got me through college. That thing was as good as gold. It’s retired now so I don’t break it. I keep a 35 and 48GX at work just to have people look at me funny. ---

I still have my HP42s, took a vacation job to be able to pay for it before went to college. Bought all the programming books and stuffed it’s memory with increasingly complex equations. Till date I use it daily. I now have it as an App on my iPhone, although I miss it’s perfectly controlled keys. RPN rocks indeed. ---

PS. I give non-native English speakers no grief on these matters because English is a really rough language with its spellings and sound-alikes…so please don’t feel picked on, at least by me. ---

Do you Americans (from the bit between Canada and Mexico) laugh at British pronunciation like we laugh at yours? A few words come to mind: - Leicester - Edinburgh - Birmingham - buoy - tomato - clique - missile I’m sure there are many more. 😉 ---
