    I always thought deers were real and reindeers were the mythical version that could fly.

    That's a divide by sign, not a fraction.

    a fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, while the denominator is the total number of parts. It consists of numbers above and below the line, such as:

    1/2 3/4 5/8 etc.

    Agree that I've only ever known it pronounced Atkansaw but if I saw it written down without knowing that I can see why you'd say Arkansas.

    Well yeah but I couldn't think how best to explain that symbol was showing a number over a number

    It's not it's a divide by sign, i.e. 5672 ÷ 6 = x

    But a fraction is something else..... a fraction is a number less than 1 or 100%.

    Ok then I'll word it again.the ÷ sign isn't just a random symbol it is showing a number over another number. ie one number being divided by another.

    Better?

    I thought babies were bought from hospitals till about 10. Can’t remember what I thought about a heavily pregnant woman. :).
    Nice idea though. Would be nice to exchange under warranty. Or get your money back.
    Sorry kids. Love you dearly most of the time. :)

    Alphabet.
    Always had trouble with that - usually leaving one or more letters out.
    Plus saying certain words.
    Had trouble for years saying parallel.
    Recently saying pneumoconiosis seems to trip me up.

    I don't know the name of a single character in Emmerdale and Eastenders, and only one in Coronation street-Ken Barlow

    But then...should I know?

    Slaithwaite is not pronounced Slaythwaite and it pisses the locals off if you do pronounce it like that.
