I don't get people who expect other people to actually read daily mail articles..

😀

I don't get imaginary numbers, I really just don't get it at all.

Try this one then.

Between every two rational numbers there is an irrational number. Between every two irrational numbers there is a rational number. Yet there are infinitely more irrational numbers then rational.

An imaginary number is a the square root of a negative number. When any real number is squared, the result is never negative, however, the square of an imaginary number is always negative. Imaginary numbers have the form bi where b is a non-zero real number and i is the imaginary unit, which is defined as the square root of negative one.[1]
An imaginary number bi can be added to a real number a to form a complex number of the form a+bi, where a and b are called, respectively, the "real part" and the "imaginary part" of the complex number. Imaginary numbers can therefore be thought of as complex numbers where the real part is zero, and vice versa. The name "imaginary number" was originally coined in the 17th century as a derogatory term as such numbers were regarded by some as fictitious or useless, but today they have essential, concrete applications in a variety of scientific, engineering, and related areas.

Don't get:

Singlespeeding
Cars or motorbikes that make lots of noise
People who can't use apostrophes. Wtf? I must've been taught it at least 10 times at school, and it's not exactly brain surgery is it? Pull your bloody fingers out!

Do get:

Imaginary numbers. They have i after them, and when you square one the result is negative. That's all there is to it. Doesn't have to make sense with respect to anything else, that's just how it is.
Lots of other things, even weird things about other people, cos I am very clever 🙂
Oakleys - they look nice and are definitely better than a £10 pair to wear and look through. Easily.
