Greta, I can't do so right now that this evening when I get home, if someone has not already done so, I will try to help you understand this concept of fractions.

There are 16 quarters in 4 years in relations to months.

I think the people with math problems is you guys.

If you cannot accept that my 16th Quarter means exactly the same thing as your 4th Quarter.

And yes, it is also correct English.

Just like you call a scones "biscuits" in your country. Both means the exact same thing.

Just like, my 30 degrees is your 86 degrees. Means the EXACT same thing.

Just that I calculate by Celcius, and you Calculate by Fahrenheit.

I calculate by Months per Year. You calculate by just Years.

Same shit.

No Greta it is not. Every time you open your mouth on this you make more jaw-dropping ridiculous statements.

It's exactly precisely the same!

30 degrees IS 86 degrees!

16th Quarter IS 4th Quarter.

Singaporeans and Americans measure things with different scales, but essentially, the end result may be different numbers but mean the EXACT same thing.

FR
Mathematics are known as the universal language because the math concepts do not change regardless of how they are expressed from language to language. A quarter as a fraction is the same in any language.

Greta lacks education, by her own admission. She also has issues with cognitive reasoning, as she proves on the boards daily. Nowhere is that more evident than in this conversation except for maybe when she's discussing Anatomy.

Greta, I can't do so right now that this evening when I get home, if someone has not already done so, I will try to help you understand this concept of fractions.


It's not about her understanding of fractions, it is about the meaning of the word 'quarter'.
She seems to be telling us that in Singaporean political jargon, it can specifically mean a period consisting of one of the first, second, third or fourth sets of 3 consecutive months in each year.

So over a 4 year term, there would be 16 quarters.
A quarter of the entire TERM would be one year.

We don't agree on anything, but I am amazed that you are the only one who gets it.
And it would have never occur to me at all that this is the First Quarter, because our terms of measurements for Quarters is always every 3 months, not just political Terms, but also, pretty much anything with a dateline.

Now I wonder if I claim 30 degrees is 86 degrees, would Wayward also say I fail math if I equate 30 degrees to 86 degrees. Because for a damn long time, especially as a kid when I spoke to US kids online and they told me the temperature was 86 degrees, I thought they were suppose to be dead in that temperature.

Only then I find out that, their 86 degrees is our 30 degrees. As our boiling point is 100 degrees. Yet in the US, it's some odd figure.

When it comes down to it, I guess I just can't imagine you being so dumb as to not understand the concept of basic fractions or how your own country refers to measures of time.

So basically, I don't think you're literally retarded.

No, the 16th quarter occurs within the 4th quarter.
It isn't the whole 4th quarter.

FFS can we stop this insanity now?

But that's what I mean!

If I said 16th Quarter, I would be more specific, saying it's the last 3 months of his Presidency. Whereas Americans would generically still say 4th Quarter which could mean any time within the 4th Year. I am more specific. They are more generic. Essentially, it's the same time period.

No, because Americans wouldn't say '4th quarter' to describe the 4th year.
Since the terrifying possibility that Trump will be re-elected hasn't been taken off the table yet, we don't yet know if a quarter describes the first 1 or 2 years.

They would just say 'in the first year' or something like that.

Well base on current situation, he only has a 4 year contract.

IF it gets extended. It restarts. I would say something like First Quarter of his 2nd Presidency to describe his brand new first 3 months.

Mark me as (C) None of the Above

But there is really no choice.
Until 2020, your choices are Trump or Pence for President. Unless Pence get impeached too, then I don't know who is next in line.

That's why my poll options are, Trump is better than Pence, or Pence is Better than Trump options.

Obviously I know many would prefer Hillary as their first choice. But that's not a legal option.

Ryan, speaker of the House.
However if they find some Trumped up charge to get Trump and then start working on Pence he would have time to name a new
VP, and who knows who that would be.

This is late first quarter.

Yep, 3rd qtr will be 2019 if he makes it that far. If he gets off fucking Twitter, it would calm everybody down. He talks too much.

Obviously you Americans calculate things different from me. Base on Trump starting Presidential work in Feb.

Feb/Mar/Apr - First Quarter
May/June/July - Second Quarter
August/Sept/Oct - Third Quarter
Nov/Dec/Jan - Fourth Quarter

That's how it works for me.

Sports analogy football and basketball have four quarters. Thus by comparison
the first qtr of a four year term would be a whole year.

Enjoy thinking that the way it works in other countries is ignorant when the reality is that US does work on it's own island on some weird measurements.

I cannot even understand why they wouldn't use boiling point at 100 degrees and freezing point at 0 degrees. And why they choose some rather odd numbers instead to represent those points. I think they are possibly the only country in the world still stuck on their weird measurements.

Because over here, when we say quarter, it describes months. With Trump Presidency, if we wanna count his years, we literally say, "First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year". We would not use the word "quarter" to describe it. Just like we would not use Fahrenheit for temperature.

And you are showing the typical American arrogance, that your way is the only way it works in the world. When all I have done is acknowledge that the American way is different from our way. And have accepted both ways as valid. But you guys are arguing that the way we calculate it in our country is wrong.

No Greta. Comparing using Celsius vs Fahrenheit is not the same thing as writing your own rules for fractions and how to express them.

I think the U. S. is stupid for continuing to use Fahrenheit over Celsius, not using metric, other things like that.

But that is wholly different than what you are doing, and I no longer care to explain it to you. Because I don't believe that your would ever get it. Or want to.
