"The number of phrases shorter than 100 letters is finite. In fact, it can't exceed 27100." While true, you wouldn' start or finish with a space and multiple spaces would logicaly be treated as a single space. Just sayin'. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 17:09, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] excessively long phrase divided by itself = ickle number

Consider the number described by the phrase "The square root of thirty-six" Phrases can denote numbers clearly and unambiguously, can't they?


Am I being a dumb-arse here, or was the writer of that? Either I'm being a dumb-arse and not acknowledging this is rhetorical, or the writer didn't know the square root of 36 is 6, or minus 6.
