There's a fine line between a denominator and a numerator
@JenMsft Don't vinculum-blame, Jen!
@JenMsft There’s a fine line between a groove and a rut.
@JenMsft
Is Michael Gove back in the news? 🤔
@JenMsft I am going to steal that for my collection of rotating teams status messages :)
@JenMsft Only a fraction of people will understand this joke ;) 

@JenMsft

Not with my crayons there isn't 😉

@JenMsft Oh, how I missed these wonderful jokes! Glad to see you're on here!
@JenMsft the dad jokes on this site are its killer feature.
@JenMsft it’s an okay line, but i’ve seen better
@JenMsft In Mathematica division is a multiply, i.e. a/b = Mul[a,Power[b,-1]]
@JenMsft Math (teacher or not) jokes are even better than dad jokes!
@JenMsft you should have put a warning label on that, it's really divisive
@JenMsft There is definitely a line, but how fine it is depends on the writing instrument. 😉​
@JenMsft
Only a fraction of people will understand this...
@JenMsft I wish I could reciprocate ...
@JenMsft I've just about reached my quotient on these kinds of jokes.
@JenMsft you know, there's nothing like a good joke
@JenMsft And even though I was a teacher for twenty years, I never learned what to call that line. "Fraction line"? "Line of Denominator Numerator Demarcation"? "DeMultiplication Zone"?
@ArisenPhoenix @JenMsft in Icelandic it's called "brotastrik". But if I google-translate to English, it's either hyphen or dash. So it looks (from afar) that you really don't have a special word for it...
@thor @JenMsft I was working on some curriculum materials yesterday, and maybe because my spider sense had been elevated by our talk, I noticed what it was called in English: the Fraction Bar. Sounds a bit like a location for a speed dating event for single math geeks...

@ArisenPhoenix @JenMsft oooh, of course it's fraction bar. "Brot" in "brotastrik" literally means fraction here - and "strik" means line - or in this case - bar. That was a translation much too easy to overlook.

But I like the speed-dating explanation better 😂

@thor and just to be clear, Brotastrik is WAY cooler name
@JenMsft I don't even know how to react to this ha ha
@JenMsft do you mean to be so divisive?
@JenMsft And that line is so divisive.
@JenMsft this is quite a divisive statement.
@JenMsft Do you mean finite line ?
@JenMsft Arguably that's not an irrational argument.
@JenMsft
not always : notably for ratios
