I beg your pardon! I, my parents, and three out of four of my grandparents were all born in London. We emigrated to Israel when I was a child.

No need to apologise. I just wanted to point out that grammar is not quite extinct even among the "youf". :) Sorry if I came on a bit too hard.

Shouldn't that be "for us pedants"? :) (The same form as "for us the living")

Almost certainly not! :-\ The ellipsis after 'pedants' indicates this phrase is part of a sentence, in which case the subject would be 'pedants' and the previous pronoun would take the same form - as in "We the people...". The grammar pedant strikes again! :laugh:

Perhaps I was wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time...) EDIT: It all depends on whether Madison or Lincoln was the better grammarian. :)

On another site, I just saw a post saying, "My OnlyFans is under 5‼️" :omg:

5!! ~= 6.6895029134491270575881180540904e+198 That is about 4.84e+188 times older than the universe, assuming that the units are years (and that the universe is 1.38e10 years old) I may be a pedant but I am not pedantic
I believe the units would be U.S. Dollars, but I didn't research it further.

The Calculator on my Mac says 5! = 120 120! = Not a number. (Actually starts at 102!)
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Use [Stirling's Approximation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's\_approximation) to estimate N! for larger N. ln(n!) = n ln(n) - n + O(ln(n))
