Again, another number that has no reason to ever be written in the history of

I should tell my son to add 0/10 to every whole number he has to write for the rest of the year.

Mixed number? Similar to like a mixed marriage?

Still better than two-twoths of a fart in a bag.

We understand that there are bad ways to teach useful concepts.

Look, just because it is "common core" curriculum does not make it good.

No. "one and ten tenths" units is no less ridiculous.
