• curprev 12:4312:43, 1 November 2023‎ JBW talk contribs‎ 47,880 bytes 0‎ I have only ever come across the expression "decimal point" as meaning the mark which separates the whole number part of a number from the fractional part, whereas here it is used to refer to the figures after that mark. On searching I have found that the second meaning is occasionally used, mainly in unreliable sources, but the other meaning is overwhelmingly the usual one. I am therefore substituting "decimal places"; "decimall figures" would also be OK.

I Added two sources out of *many* thousands to be found. The Greeks found a number that cannot be written as a ratio of integers, which we call an irrational number.
• curprev 20:4620:46, 12 April 2023‎ JBW talk contribs‎ 46,651 bytes +3‎ It is a misunderstanding to attribute the concept of irrational numbers to ancient Greek. Really we should say "irrational ratios", but since probably most readers wouldn't understand what that was supposed to mean, and an explanation would be disproportionate in the context, compromising on "irrational quantities" is perhaps as good as anything.
