    Son was helping me and saying what we were doing was not rocket science.
    But he has a degree in Aero Space Engineering.

    PS He lets me do the work with the power tools.

    Not necessarily. Uk english favours maths, but US english favours math. Most linguist appear to agree that both are correct, some would further suggest that mathmatics can be used as a both a singular or plural noun in the collective form and that either is therefore correct in Uk or US english.

    Well, thats easy. An Algae bra is same in need of wash. And any thing that ends in "try" should never be taken seriously.

    That's the saying that I particularly hate, especially when espoused by people who should know better.


    rocket science boils down to a single equation y = x^2


    there are many far harder sciences
