    In case anyone cares, this is the 6th time that "Tercile" has been used on this board. Five of the uses have been by Pelagius, and one by Donuthole.

    Follow up question for Pelagius. When talking about 20 quantiles, what term do you use? A couple of years back, I used "Ventiles" in a presentation, but was vocally shouted down by people who preferred the term "Twentiles". I, however, find "Twentiles" boorish and plebeian. I appreciate your input.

    Also, I hope BYU wins the match against CSULB.

      I don't think I've ever thought about 20 quantiles; yeesh, that's a pretty fine sort. But, I think I am with you, Twentiles does have a real pedestrian feel to it.

        This is factually incorrect. I can see why your team avoids you on Skype.

          Donuthole correcting me was in my top tercile of expected responses.

          I will have to recheck my data once I get to a place that doesn't block this board. If I made any errors, I am certain it was the fault of vBulletin's search algorithm.

            This is in the top tercile of enjoyable responses, even though Clark usually is in the top ventile of my favorite posters.

            Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                  Serve. Block. Pass. BYU does those three things well and they win.

                    Should be fun. I do think Olmstead and staff have done a really nice job this season given all the injuries. I'm interested to see what moves they make tonight.

                      The worst ventile in people or just tercile?

                        Are you in the Ohio for the game, or will you simply watch it online?

                            BYU dominates the first two sets. Playing really well.
