Ah, I don't know what Stuart George did...but what I corrected was just
Tim's work...he must have added something since or whatever...you never
know, perhaps he "corrected" my corrections or something ;)...

Screw up? What you mean like spelling "isle" as "ilse"? That kind of screw
up? ;)

No, it's okay...some Ancient Greek blokes already offered to give us
lessons (and the Arabs have kindly loaned us some of their numerals too,
which should come in handy for writing it down :)...and, better yet, they
actually teach "mathematics" rather than just a single "mathematic"...but,
you know, it's your language so it's not like you'd all be making a
fundamental grammatical mistake like altering the plurality in abbreviation
or anything...so you must just mean a single mathematic, like Pythagoras'
Theorem, and just that only...

Well, I would say "write to me" to explain which one it is...but,
apparently, the verb isn't transitive and doesn't require the dative case
anymore...so, ummm, "write me"...or "write back me"...or is that "back me
write"? Or "write me back"? Ah, I suppose, as grammar no longer seems
important in "your" language and the verb "write" has lost all grammatical
sense completely, then any of them will do, eh? Write back me, you explain
math teach...me Yoda like sound...Force use Luke, the! ;)
