I don’t remember 9th grade. Or whenever/whoever ever mentioned scientific notation,
It’s stupid. Causes nothing but problems.
As far as I can tell.

Positive notation is a concise way for OT ballers to report income.
Negative notation is a concise way for Poli board posters to report IQ.

Would you prefer having to write out 20 zeroes every time? Or have to count them all when you're trying to read it? Seems like it solves a problem, not causes any. Which is why it was created
Weird thread

It fricks me up with serial numbers when I pull an inventory report from my system in an excel dump.

Well some folks can’t even put the $ sign in front of the number so…

Lord if we didn't have shorthand for super small and big arse numbers my job would be a nightmare. Honestly, I am not even looking at the scientific notation part, I know "3" of X actually .0000000003 or whatever and I need to stay within 3-5 to be in range but for fricks sake if I couldn't short hand numbers it would suck.

Makes you realize how intelligent Einstein actually was. Created all those equations that predicted the existence of black holes and he did it all without a scientific calculator or computer. Just pen and paper.
And his theory on relativity has still passed every test over 100 years later.

The same reason grammer is a thing, so people from different backgrounds (or fields of study) can better understand each other.

I’ve never used it in my adult life, but I understand the need for it in certain fields and careers.

Boeing engineers use it every day. It’s a convenient way to express vertical downward acceleration wing spar loading.

Come on Dawg,
This kind of post gives people who are really smart the chance to educate the uninformed and the sarcastic folks a chance to get in some good one liners to entertain us.
