Quoting Dale Tronrud <[email protected]>:
P.S. to respond out-of-band to Dr. Schiltz: On the US flag I see 7 "red stripes",6 "white stripes", and 50 "stars". If I state "I see 7" I have conveyed no useful information.
Yes, but cast in a mathematical equations one would write : Number of red stripes = 7 Number of white stripes = 6 Number of stars = 50 i.e. without units one would not write : Number = 7 red stripes Number = 6 white stripes Number = 50 stars Marc
