Please do it plainly. Since David maintains definitions are only abbreviations, the definition of "exact numerical address" is "Q" as I quite plainly pointed out. >Do you mean by "exactl numerical address" the decimal expansion or >expansion in whatever base (greater than 1) is chosen? > >Bob Kolker ~v~~

So do you. Your definition of the word "definition" is "only an abbreviation". Not very true but there it is. ~v~~
