There's a fine line between a denominator and a numerator
@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 😂
