Subject: Re: Third Square Root (sqrt3)? From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 13 Sep 2002 15:17:03 +0000 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3240919023488208@naggum.no> * Bruce Hoult | Erik perhaps could have mentioned that "third root" is also perfectly | acceptable English. No, I could not. /You/ could have mentioned this, which is contrary to an amazing array of reference works, both online and offline. Unless, of course, you refer to something else entierely, such as in "go, go, go!" where the last "go" would be the third root. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
