Comments on: Incomes in America http://cafehayek.com/2009/09/incomes-in-america.html where orders emerge Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:06:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Anonymous http://cafehayek.com/2009/09/incomes-in-america.html/comment-page-1#comment-183079 Anonymous Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:51:00 +0000 http://cafehayek.com/?p=6595#comment-183079 I'm going to refrain from ranting about you being stupid - as you did to me in the most recent post - and just post the relevant things the three of them said. First, me: DK: "The only thing I did was point out that the word "distribution" in that phrase was a verb." [the noun being a distribution of datapoints, if you read earlier] Brent: "If there's no need for scare quotation marks for "probability distribution", I see no need for scare quotation marks for "income-distribution" richard66: "I think the term 'Distribution' is used for its mathematical meaning. Distribution as in frequency or probability density functions etc." vikingvista: "No scare quotes necessary. Any property of a population has a distribution. It refers to an observation, not action." Just get over it, vidyohs. I’m going to refrain from ranting about you being stupid – as you did to me in the most recent post – and just post the relevant things the three of them said. First, me:

Certainly I'm the one who is thinking in a fog. “Of course it’s used in a non-mathematical sense.

Hyphenated surnames are already becoming passe’ with the increasing acceptance of triple hyphenated surnames, such as Teresa Jones-Hampton-Crawley. Pretty difficult to tell where it will all stop.
