>AFAIK, it's not really an 'assembler trick', more of a 'maths' trick.
Why do I always get the feeling that 'maths' isn't a real word whenever I
see it used? I guess it is because it always seems to appear in a
grammatically incorrect context along with 'u r maths 1337' and 'u834 hax04
1337 maths'. Basically, people who are incapable of writing completely
spelled out sentences in e-mails tend to use the word 'maths', so I was
surprised to see you using it. I learn the meaning of words by inference
rather than using a dictionary - and I'm usually right about the inferred
meaning when I go to use it. When I'm wrong, I embarrass everyone :)
The other reason I think 'maths' should not be a real word is because
'math' works in that same sentence. 'maths' is an aberation of
'mathematics' given that 'math' is legit. Seems bizarre to have two words
- one with a plural appendage and one without exist. But you British are
weird. ('maths' is a British word according to dictionary.com).
Also, while I'm nitpicking, you should have extended the single quotes
around the second 'trick' (or only had 'assembler' in quotes). As it is,
you mean 'assembler trick trick'. That is, a trick of a trick. You can't
have a trick of a trick because that would result in no trick. Or maybe
the trick has a trick. It's all very confusing.
