The state of Hawaii has an Interstate Highway System. It is fudging the

It's paid for with federal funds, thus it's part of the federal interstate
highway system. It's no different from Interstate 405 in California: It
begins in LA and ends in San Diego -- it never leaves the state yet it's
yet it's still an "interstate."

I would suppose that a junior college instructor could call themselves
a "part of the University of
Hawaii system" and that they "lecture on mathematics" if they hold
classes under that instructor.


The semester begin tomorrow -- I'll be teaching a calculus class at the
university campus (which is not a "junior college"), 8:30-9:20 MWF,
Keller Hall room 403. The class is full but I'll let you register,
if you think you can handle the class.

But, the same "mathematics lecturer"
(on the scale of Roger Penrose?) once claimed that the ARRL Amateur's
Handbook was on a "bestseller" listing in the USA...and the American
Bookseller's Association (ABA) couldn't verify that at all. :-)


Go back and read my complete post, paying attention to the phrase
"...technical best seller."

Folks, we are getting into a huge embellishment project here with all these
straw structures. In other venues it would be called LYING. In here it is
apparently an Orwellian kind of Newspeak.


Accusing me of lying? Are you sure you want to commit libel?

No 73 for you,
