    How do you say 1/2

    • thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      My point being is there is precedent, and it doesn’t make you stupid for not

      You can also calls six “half a dozen”

      I mean if anything

      1/3 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 etc

      There’s more situations where you express it like on fourth.

      There’s way more valid things to harp on Americans about

        None of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/5 actually follow the precedent - it’s not threeth and fiveth - half and quarter are just the clearest. If anything, it’s sixth and upwards (downwards?) that don’t follow the precedent set by the start of the series.

  You forget, “quarter” also is the name of a coin here.

  (And quarter is also housing for redcoats in our homes (which we refuse) and mercy in combat, and a vaguely one-fourth chunk of human when ripped apart by horses bolting in the primary directions.)

    Apart from the coin that’s the same everywhere. And it’s because it’s “one fourth” of a dollar, which I mean, I’m not confused, who would be confused by that
