T-shirt I saw at a thrift store today:

#math #puns

At the top, an incorrect math equation claiming that the square root of negative four is equal to two.

Caption: it’s all fun and games until someone loses an i.

Important note : the i is the italic letter i that should have been attached to the two in the equation to indicate an imaginary number. (The square root of negative four is imaginary two.)
