Mathematically, a pile of sand is Nx, so 1x + 1x = 2x is still Lx + Mx = Nx.
Hence, two piles of sand added together is one pile of sand.
QED.

Your grasp on the English language continues to astound me.
Really.

I'd ask in what way it astounds you, but I expect that I'll get a response that insults me in some manner, and I reeealy don't want to have to deal with that.

This is one of the last threads we needed revived... and that comes from me.
EDIT: If clover leaf had read through the thread, he would have known how 1/3 could be the same as 2/6.

Awww I'm late to the party, this one woulda been fun. The xkcd posted earlier pretty much sums it up though.
