Hi, All --

Hope your school years are off to a good start, if they've started (we start 
Wednesday and I am SO not ready).

But I have a question: am I being a pedant if I insist that my students never 
report an exact _p_ value?  IIRC from my calc days, the probability of 
obtaining an exact value of a random variable is zero.

I suppose I should just go with the flow, but it sort of rankles...

What do you all think?
