I dunno, I think the closest African country to Madagascar is Comoros, although not by much (398km vs 403km). Perhaps you mean the closest "mainland" African country etc. (While Mayotte is even closer to Madagascar than is Anjouan (Comoros), I guess France doesn't qualify as an African country.)

Equity is not the same thing as Equality

Equality for GINI measurement please?

It might be that the higher the number the more inequality but surely we can say that equality is being measured. And it still has a Q in it.

It seems like if you measure inequality you are, necessarily, simultaneously measuring equality.

Isn't GINI an abbreviation, in which case inequality is the only thing that would work. Otherwise I guess your choice of word depends on if you are a glass is half full or half empty person.

Frustrated with myself for trying equity and inequity but not equality and inequality. I've come to expect too much leniency from Quizmaster

It's from Spanish, the fourth most spoken language in the world, and a very phonetically spelled one.

Fun fact I learned today: Typing "ABQ" works for Albuquerque as an auto-typein. Struggle no more.

It's a very nice compliment to say that Americans are master spellers, far more skilled at spelling than anyone else. But it's also false - we tend to be pretty bad at it.

Now, about non-Colombians trying to spell Barranquilla...

The Gini coefficient is not an acronym (it's named after Corrado Gini), and should therefore not be capitalized.
