    mathematical English

    A question I'd like to throw out there for Russian students.
    Do you know any good resources on the web that teach mathematical terminology in English - especially business Math(s)

    Thanks zaranee!

You see, a couple of months ago I said "the ranneest" while speaking Russian to someone - I'm in my favourite armchair, right, reading an English magazine, all of a sudden the phone rings and it's someone asking me about how soon I can deliever something and I go "ну, the раннеест, я думаю, в пятницу" or something.
    Was that also a slip in your case?

    Oh god no, not a slip, just a pathetic attempt at a joke. But I remember there was a thread about these kind of cross-language slips. Actually, I think there might have been more than one.
