quantify your luurve


















a spanish friend, whenever his wife asks how much he loves her, wisely replies ...

"more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow"

but in the modern age, where moderation is our watchword and every transaction should be audited, this is clearly the kind of loose talk that will allow her to falsely claim the ownership of ideas that are markedly above her station

in the interests of regulated and consistent growth, i would suggest the following formulation  ...

"two per cent more than yesterday, but roughly ninety eight point zero four per cent as much as tomorrow"

plain speaking is the stuff of modern concord
