Yes. One would want to avoid false positives for the accurate evaluation of one's vocabulary.

Apart from the humanitarian catastrophe, does anyone else feel vexed, at the enormous resources and man-hours lost because of the bombing campaigns in conflicts? One could argue, that efforts towards achieving inter-national harmony is also vital in reducing humanity's carbon footprint.

I have a family member with just one name, officially. We usually don't use surnames in our community.
He has had problems registering his bike in India, with his name.
And in chapter 2:
>Now if, for such a purpose, we regard 1/1,000,000 (or one millionth) as a small quantity, then 1/1,000,000 of 1/1,000,000, that is 1/1,000,000,000,000 (or one billionth) ..
1/1,000,000,000,000 is actually one trillionth
In chapter 2:
> Let us think of x as a quantity that can grow by a small amount so as to become x+dx, where dx is the small increment added by growth. The square of this is x2+2x⋅dx+(dx)^2. The second term is not negligible because it is a first-order quantity; while the third term is of the second order of smallness, being a bit of, a bit of x^2.
It seems to me that the third term is actually a bit of a bit of x, rather than of x^2.

Why do registrars charge more per year if I try to register a domain for more than one year?
I'm glad someone's using 'libre'; glad that i can easily refer to liberated open-source software without ambiguity.
I've been searching for this game on and off for years and could never find it! I've always been searching it as DOT or D.O.T. !!
There is a movie dialogue where a man from the future tells his friend in the past:"I want you to remember this word, okay? It's kind of like a code word: Yahoo. Can you remember that?" It ends up making his friend rich in the future. The movie is Frequency(2000)
UBI will likely encourage unsustainable population growth. So, population growth dis-incentives need to be part of the package.
Less desirable jobs would offer higher pay, and the offered pay would keep increasing until the demand for clean airport toilets are met.
