I know this was just a joke, but I just wanted to point out that using {yoy}
would not work unless the Klingon system of transcribing mathematical
operations worked as ours: placing numbers on top of each other to represent
the numerator and denominator. If I wanted to use another method to write
this, say, 1:3, then {yoy} makes no sense at all.
