And in both Belgium and Switserland it is also septante for 70
The French is a bith when working with IP numbers.
cent quatre vingt deux
Is that 100.4.20.2 or 192?
Also because the Dutch say twee-en-veertig (two and fourty) and English
says fourty-two for 42, I have learned to say things number by number.
So a phonenumber become
0.2.1.2.3.4.5.6.7 When people repeat it, they still go for 02.123.45.67
in Belgium.
And when they say 02.123.45.67 and I repeat 0.2.1.2.3.4.5.6.7 many have
no way of knowing wether that is correct, unles they have the number in
front of them.
Humans are basicaly idiots (except me). :-D
