Yet another seemingly obvious concept leads to another fascinating thread - thanks for asking this Bill; like you, it never occurred to me...

Hi Bob,

I almost didn't start this thread - I was afraid I had missed the obvious.

But from what I have read here, how people think about math can be affected by the particular languages they may know.

Fascinating. Thanks to everyone for posting.
