Mangling the universal language
20th May, 2008
I just received an email from the TDA trying to recruit me as a maths teacher:
“The universal language of numbers is ubiquitous. And its applications in the real world are infinitesimal.”
So it’s everywhere, and it’s almost completely pointless: the Bruce Forsyth of languages.
Ah well, I guess it’s not his mother tongue.

Apologies to AWT whose comment accidentally got deleted:
At least for once those that recruit into maths are actually telling the truth….
