I have started a thread Calculating square roots by hand.
In the post
https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=7326#p7326
the topic of calculating square roots is mentioned.
So here is a thread about calculating square roots by hand.
I found the following.
https://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-a-Square-Root-by-Hand
i have had a quick look, hopefully I can study it in detail later and have a go.
While looking for the 22! strawberries humour for the following post in another thread,
https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=7324#p7324
I noticed the following post
https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=1155#p1155
I like the supporting art,
he carrying a bottle,
she having a shoulder bag,
the streetlight
the shrubbery in the background and the shading on it
the plant below the window
the brickwork of the house
the various direcions of the shading lines on the car
no letterbox, is that the back door?
and no keyhole on the door
and what they are walking on is not shown as a straight line
The 22! strawberries joke is in the following post.

Explained in the following post.

I’ve no idea why you thought so, William.
Because you added an exclamation mark after the name.
Not the same meaning of an exclamation mark that some of us shared some fun moments laughing about in relation to the 22! strawberries in whatever it was though!
I tried to post a link to the following video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp_b-095yPc
I included the title as on that web page.
It would not post.
Ultimately I had to remove the DE from the text.
Then it worked fine,
https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?pid=7320#p7320
The DE is the way Unicode does the German flag.
But it did not display as a flag here, just displaying the underlying encoding symbols, and the D, as does an emoji, caused this forum to not post it nor the rest of the text of the intended post.

I posted this link sometime ago, in 2022, in another thread, asking where it took place and Alfred got it right and was, I think, surprised.
In which country did this take place?
A beautiful song.

Bob Wills "San Antonio Rose" Live (circa 1940's)
New content only in this thread.
That linked article has a lot of information.
Thank you for the link.
I think what I saw was much shorther and thus much less detailed.
Transcribed from the Affinity forum thread.

... As a side note, I’ve always wondered why “questionnaires” has a double n but “millionaires” and “billionaires” only get one each, despite the fact that such people are wealthy enough to buy almost anything else that they want.

A possible explanation is that it is a similar situation to the following.
I read, sometime, somewhere, that words such as, for example, travelled, end in -led in American English yet in -lled in British English, with the exception in British English that the word paralleled has only a single letter l near the end, not a double letter l, because it already has a double letter l earlier within it.

Perhaps best we continue this in the following thread in your forum
In an Affinity forum thread
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index. … nt-1381191
then later in the same thread
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index. … nt-1381566
then
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index. … nt-1381589
then
I think that those designs are, or are very like, some that the Monotype Corporation in the United Kingdom had in their range in the 1960s.
The Monotype Corporation included revivals of a number of border designs from the Renaissance era. The Monotype Corporation also had a number of typefaces revived from the Renaissance era as well, such as Garamond.

How many sorts are there?
At least two.
I found a website about malware that says it is a push notification (of which topic I know nothing) and gave a list of things to do, the first being to clear bowser history and cookies.
I did that and restarted the computer and thus far it seems to be cleared.
Maybe the S in Windows 10S stopped it getting more embedded.
So, hoping it has gone, but proceeding wit caution.
I seem to remember that Windows has its own inbuilt
virus finder and remover.
Does anyone know how to start it please?
I did a hard sswitch off, the started up again, and I got the
view from the cavev picture so I wondered if the system had
fixed it.
But alas no, it has come back again.

Thank you.
What are the meanings of
That's water under the bridge
and
There's been too much water under the bridge
I heard the second one over fifty years ago, but only once.
Do they mean the same or is there a difference?
