To feel angry at this fraction?

[TheDuchessofBoxford]

I am more angry than I should be to see someone on my Facebook say that their fringe is covering 6/8 of their face!

AIBU if I comment '3/4! It's three effing quarters!!!!!'?

[ImSoCoolNow]

YANBU. That would irritate me also

[ByeFelicia]

YANBU

You are not supposed to mock those less fortunate than yourself!
It's not their fault they don't understand fractions.
Ds did that kind of maths in y4. Earlier at home, as he loves maths.
Just wait, soon it will cover 10 tenths of their face.

[ChwatFeechers]

YANBU.

[Finola1step]

Who in their right mind says"6/8" about anything? Madness, I tell you.

[SmillasSenseOfSnow]

YANBU. Pray that it's a typo.

[Gruntfuttock]

YANBU.

[CharityBarnum]

YANBU

Why? Why?

Unless of course, she is a musician. 6/8 is very different to 3/4 time.

[SycamoreMum]

Ltb. I dunno slightly drunk and sleepy

[CharityBarnum]

Is she a musician?

I am, and can see that I might use 6/8 instead of 3/4 to describe my hair without actually meaning to be a wanker

[CrystalHaze]

Best thread title EVAH!

[QuintShhhhhh]

Bad fraction. Bad bad fraction.

Tell her, "if
You save your fringe any longer, it will be 12/16 before you know it"

[CharityBarnum]

But it isn't a bad fraction for hair. 4/8, well yes, that isn't a standard time signature in written music as opposed to 2/4 (march)

I think she was describing her fringe on terms of two groups of triple quavers instead of three crochets.

Philistines

[Athrawes]

6/8 is a perfectly respectable fraction. 3/4 is just a simplified version. I guess you are a simpler person.

[CharityBarnum]

I'm quite surprised that someone would think that nobody in their right mind would ever use 6/8.

Oi, Mozart and Beethoven, you ignorant fuckers, sort your time signatures aaaaaat!

[Lweji]

It's not much worse than saying 10%, for example. Why not simply say 1/10?

Or 50% instead of 1/2 or half.

[TheDuchessofBoxford]

I shall refrain from passing comment; knowing I am NBU has had a calming effect

Not sure if she is a musician - I don't think so but I'd say there's a 4/20 chance.

[BitOutOfPractice]

I'd say YAB 12/24 U and 40/80 R

Fraction rage

[LurkingHusband]

Fraction rage

Fractious ?

[Stealthpolarbear]

In what way is it a bad fraction? Surely they're all equivalent. Do any of you ever say 50%

[PurpleSwift]

So you're frustrated someone isn't as good at fractions as you

[BitOutOfPractice]

lurking very good!

Quite obv this is lighthearted, frivolous, unimportant thread. Wind yer necks in!

[WixingMords]

Is it actually a fringe if it's that long?

[TheDuchessofBoxford]

Of course this is lighthearted and I recognise I am being a pedant!

WixingMords - I think 6/8 is a gross exaggeration based on the photo that was supplied! It takes up 11/33 at most!

[TTWK]

It's well know that 5 out of every 3 people don't understand fractions.
