Mathematician:
1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and by induction we have that all the odd integers are prime.
And how linguists prove that all odd numbers are prime: The Phonologist
β3 is prime, 5 is prime, and 7 is prime. While 9 does not appear to be prime, if we said it is not prime, we would be missing an important underlying generalization.β
Okay, okay, so it's only funny to me.
