that is the "less" verb is performed. For one who has APL as his
first c.l., this is a gotcha. The need to prefix fractional nouns
with 0 does not come naturally.
This observation _was_ tangential to the discussion.
It is not my nature to be a (canine)pack animal. Perhaps it's the
meme you are posting that is attracting the swarmed response.
Perhaps we're being too Shroeder'esque and overcomplicating things.

I am not sure what you refer to as a gotcha.
Unless it refers to having fun sending me e-mails in which there
is endless need to re-explain the same points as in the childhood
game of repeating back the last thing that was said by the other
person in hopes of frustrating and exhausting them but in this
version with slight variation and working in packs.

If your question was something else, I apologize for my lack of
proper attention.
I'm thinking this is different in the case of 1 and 1.1-.1, where
1 = 1.1 - .1
but
([]dr 1){ne}[]dr 1.1-.1
NB. Excuse the APL, I'm being lazy in not looking up the foreign
for data representation.
(J-note)
1.1-.1
1.1
was something I had to think about for a bit. Definitely a gotcha.
