If that was the case, then 31.10 = 310 and 26.45 = 1170

ROFL HARRIS!
i used to write full paragraphs with not a hint of punctuation in sight not a single comma full stop or hyphon in sight it grated my father so much and he liked to let me know by reading the full thing in a long winded breath making sure to put emphasis on his lack of oxygen by the end of it while keeping a monotone voice that the massive sentances proclaimed they needed
Id like to think those days are behind me now, im far from perfect and no doubt forget a lot of punctuation, but i make the effort. I do however find one thing intolerable and that is the absence of a full stop; Its the differance between a sentance and a full page, it is also common courtasy to atleast let people know you are finished!
The one thing that makes me chuckle a little is the thought of people furiously checking there posts before hitting the Submit button, making sure that everything is in it's correct place so as not to make an ass of themself.

heheh it's mainly for algebra where having extra x's in just confuses things.
