There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

No, no, Rube. There's *three kinds of people; those that count and those that don't count.

Yes, but. We write a one and a zero in binary, which looks like 10, but it's still "two," meaning successor-of-one, no matter what base we use. Binary writes "1, 10, 11, 100," but those numerals still mean "one, two, three, four".

Damn. I shouldn't have tried to write it so fast. I've edited it above to make more sense.

In reply to:
I would NOT say, "Due to climactic conditions, we're supposed to get a snowstorm this evening."
I hope you wouldn't, although it would be interesting to see (or experience) a climax that altered the weather.
