Irrational nth root:
Bare with, this gets complicated...
An irrational root is a root number in an equation that basically does not work (such as the Square Root of minus 1).
If you meet one, it is basically saying 'you're sunk'!

Then this is an irrational number explained:
In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. Irrational numbers cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals. As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable and the rationals countable, it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational.[1]

When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is irrational, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning they share no measure in common.

Numbers which are irrational include the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter π, Euler's number e, the golden ratio φ, and the square root of two,[2][3][4] in fact all square roots of natural numbers not being a perfect square are irrational.

There should be their.  :-[
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.

Totally agree about surds. When doing my PGCE we were told the old sabre tooth tiger story, i.e. the neolithic children still being taught by the village elders how to deal with sabre tooth tigers even after they had become extinct.

Pink, the whole of the statement you commented on is riddled with deliberate spelling and grammatical errors to make a point.

Could never get my head around Shakespeare because to all intents and purposes it is a foreign language. I would suggest that the punctuation rules of the modern written word are essential for it to make immediate sense. It's not much fun having to re-read stuff until it makes sense. Spelling is probably less important, but I have found over the years that people who use good grammar and good spelling also tend to be avid readers. There appears to be a process of osmosis going on.

Read Shakespeare with a massive deep Black Country accent. It makes much more sense ;)
