    while i was at the big fancy applied mathematicians workshop, i heard someone say "in for a dime, in for a dollar". that struck me not only as an egregious americanization of the perfectly fine "in for a penny, in for a pound", but also a considerable weakening of the stakes, going from 240:1 to 10:1, assuming the penny and pound in question are pre-decimaliaztion
