Dude that’s why we have calculators

3 out of 2 people have problems with fractions

Really though, there are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Two out of eight American Professionals are indecisive (or have split personalities).

Yes, and 67.4% of the people think statistics are all made up.

This could of been funnier with bettor grammar. :) :) :) :)

One of several reasons why I’m enjoying retirement.

It is funny either way.

Really?

I’m kind of torn. I like it, but I can kind of see your point. I tried reading several ways (without Jay’s comments) and found it funny each way. Original – both math and grammar wrong, math right, grammar wrong or math wrong, grammar right. I think math wrong, grammar right would trip up more readers. LOL

When our daughter was about 3 I tried to explain the double negative to her. I realized that my mom was right. They don’t get abstract thinking very well till they’re 6 or 7.

That statistic is entirely valid.

I could tell this was a retro comic, the coffee cup is plain, no witty motto enscribed.

When I took my software job with a defense contractor in Denver, 1984, I was accused of not being an engineer because I wrote clearly and had an extensive vocabulary.

Had to read it three times to realize it wasn’t 10,000 out of 8 and yeah, 10 out of 8 math still doesn’t work, Jay.

My brother ran into an old high school classmate who was homeschooling her son. He asked her how it was going. She said “He does OK in math and science, but he don’t do no good in English.”

I has trobol understending.

Who is eating the Chinese food take-out?

Sounds about right.

I worked for a Swiss multinational company who kicked off a major “quality” program by putting up expensive posters with “professionalism” mis-hyphenated. (I wish I were kidding.)

My school sure learned me to write good.

I seen it in a online survey. (My jaw tightened just typing that)

Trust me, it’s not gotten any better in the past fourteen years.
