    Guess I’ll just come out and say it. I’m a mixed fraction fan. 23+2/3 instantly tells you it’s “23 and a bit”, unlike 74/3, and it’s more accurate than 23.67.

      For me the problem is notation, putting a number in front of a fraction usually means multiplication and when giving a solution in anything but maths, the needed accuracy can be achieved with decimals

      I like improper for numbers between 1 and 2 at least
