How do you read the decimal number:
>3.14
Is it
a) Three point one four
b) Three point fourteen
Why are my professors using b) instead of a) , and are they retarded?
glad to see mom and dads tuition money going to good use

Mom and Dad said that this is the best way to get job security.
Why would Mom and Dad lie?
If I can express it in fractions I always do.
It's a), and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking pleb

precisely.

They are retarded. Nobody says the second one. What if you had a really long number after the decimal? I can't imagine anyone saying "three point one million four hundred fifteen thousand nine hundred and twenty six" instead of "three point one four one five nine two six"

They're saying it that way because tomorrow is pi day. 3/14
>Eurofags can't celebrate pi day with their retarded date syntax.
Say it the however the fuck you want, smart people catch what you mean and won't stick to it if you did'nt say it the way they say it

can't be real, oh wait it is.
>Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day date format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.[2][3][4][5] In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.[6]
>Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes.[7]
This is some real stupid shit.

>b) Three point fourteen [hundredths]
>>7930932
This is the product of liberals arts. What were you expecting?
strangely i say 3.10 as "three point ten" not "three point one zero"
and with something like just .14 i think i would accept "point fourteen" especially if it was a percentage
idk, linguistics man
