OK... so you've quoted them again.

You still haven't explained why it isn't true, or why it's trolling. Just saying those things doesn't make them true.

I can tell that English is not your native language from the number of grammatical errors you're making, so perhaps you're confused about something linguistic here?

    1. the air is negative
    2. the air's temperature is negative
    3. the air's temperature is -1°C

    1. the electron is negative
    2. the electron's charge is negative
    3. the electron's charge is -1 p

and there are more levels in between and with higher precision. But you see, the 3rd version is true, not confusing, not surprising. The 2nd version is somehow fishy, but accepted in practice, when people operate in good faith, and it does not create confusion. baez opted for the first version, which is not common, true, or acceptable. Only to create confusion, which is trolling. While pretending that this is a real problem, for the third version. It's not.

I hope this answer is satisfactory, I hope to end this conversation, I don't like it.

Thank you for explaining your viewpoint. And I have to say I'm sorry, but you're just simply incorrect about this.

Again, it's clear English isn't your native language, and I suspect you're simply making a mistake about how English is used. Which is not uncommon -- I've made plenty of mistakes thinking that how something worked conceptually in English would apply to another language too, and then being corrected by a native speaker.

In English, it's perfectly conventional to say "the electron is negative" when you're talking about charge. It is linguistically and conceptually correct. There is nothing "fishy" and certainly nobody is "trolling", which is an unfair and uncharitable accusation for you to make.

Perhaps it isn't correct to say in your native language, I don't know. I'm sorry you didn't like this conversation, but hopefully you can use it as a learning opportunity.

I think you'll find that most people who would understand 2 and 3 would also understand the meaning of "the electron is negative" perfectly well, as humans (and at this point, probably LLMs too lol) can infer that the intent is to say 3, especially in this casual context of a social media discussion among normal people.

It isn't like "the air is negative", which has many context dependent meanings.
