with original questioner's more-or-less approval, altered wording to clarify

| Jan 26, 2019 at 23:45 | comment | added | paul garrett | Yes, I did mean that the two different conventions really do "define" the same thing, it's just a notational thing, not mathematical. I'll edit your title, then, if you don't object. | |
| Jan 26, 2019 at 23:26 | comment | added | user4894 | @paulgarrett Yes I can see that. But isn't the convention the definition? I'm not sure what the difference is. Unless you mean that the two possible conventions are essentially the same definition, as opposed to some completely different definition. I don't care if you want to edit it. A few weeks ago someone suggested adding some tags and I rejected the edit by mistake, if that person wants to try again I'll approve. | |
| Jan 26, 2019 at 23:16 | comment | added | paul garrett | I hesitate to edit the title myself, but it might be more precisely to the point to ask about the convention for ordinal mult, rather than just "definition"... which connotes something different. | |

real tag instead of untagged
