sharkyvilla Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Having surnames as first names annoys me as well. It won't be long before the entire Australian cricket team will be called Mitchell. As for NFL players' names, they are utterly bonkers.

Seat68 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 On a tattooist page I follow. Someone posted a picture of a tattoo and asked what it would cost. I replied, their dignity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Something common on these fb equations would be 5+1×10. Without applying bodmas you could arrive at an answer of 60. By applying it 5+ (1×10) Or 5+10 = 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent I was/am one of them. But I would have been referring to stuff like trigonometry, quadratic equations, etc. Basic arithmetic is pretty fundamental though.
