OK - lets get to know each other... who are you, what do you do, where from?

My early grounding in formal English was also reinforced by the military. One does not always equal 1, but one (1) does.

Why? Sometimes one is used in a nominative sense, e.g., "One does what one must," where the numeric meaning does not apply. Adding the parenthetical value makes clear what the usage should be, or, at least, what usage was intended.

I'm 83 and still kickin'.....I have a website on Tripod, all about hotrods, and cars.
I live in Reseda, California, have a house that's paid for, am on social security, single and intend to stay that way,
and am gay. That should cover the introduction. Oh yes, am an athiest, too, so I guess you'd say that I'm
a real liberal, because I don't need to hate anybody for their religion, politics (except for the stupid greedy ones)
or for what they have or don't have. If you're a jerk, you'll expose yourself quickly enough, so hello to all and
happy holidays.
