Funny story about "weather" and "whether" returned back, where it belons |

::::::::::::: Unfortunately, you cannot do any kind of mathematics on a calculator :-). Okay, about those typos, some funny story. I always get into some funny situations. For my very first international conference, I've sent a paper named "Shall we Replace...?" And I made a typo in the very title. It was "Shell we...?". People praised me for the quality of the article text itself, and they fixed the typo in the Proceedings... years after the conference. Someone explained to me, that the editors thought that my title was made with the intent to make some funny wordplay. Probably, someone imagined that by saying "Shell we Replace...?" I implied some kind of software "shell" I proposed to replace with my technology. | ::::::::::::: Unfortunately, you cannot do any kind of mathematics on a calculator :-).

::::::::::::: Also, for years I thought that "weather" and "whether" is the same word, one word, and thought it was perfectly reasonable. I thought that the weather is so uncertain that nobody can know whether it can be good or not tomorrow, hence the same word in the language. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 03:07 UTC'' | |||
:::::::::::::: For the record, my calculator is a TI-89 Titanium, so it's not just your common desktop calculator. I agree that there's some calculators that your really can't do good math on, but this one you actually can- at least you can get the Monzos of rational intervals with the "factor" function. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 03:14, 9 December 2020 (UTC) | :::::::::::::: For the record, my calculator is a TI-89 Titanium, so it's not just your common desktop calculator.

::::::::::::::::: Excuse me, I still don't know: do you confirm that after my last fix your 7 scales are put correctly in the Microtonal Playground? — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 05:18 UTC'' | ::::::::::::::::: Excuse me, I still don't know: do you confirm that after my last fix your 7 scales are put correctly in the Microtonal Playground? — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 05:18 UTC'' | ||
::::::::: Also, only today I faced the problem with sound degraded with time, don't know how to reproduce; this problem was never exposed with the rest of the applications based on the same synthesis engine. That problem may take time... — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Wednesday 2020 December 9, 00:01 UTC'' | ::::::::: Also, only today I faced the problem with sound degraded with time, don't know how to reproduce; this problem was never exposed with the rest of the applications based on the same synthesis engine.
