I'll give you another clumsy and exagerated example, which luckily
never happened: the way the french in France say ninety-three is (translated into english): four-twenty-thirteen (4 x 20 + 13 = 93) the germans and dutch, and middle english, say 93 as: three-and-ninety Imagine this translated literally to computer code, we would all go nuts! But it's beautifull when spoken in it's natural language :) Alex [View Quote] >WHEW!! You worried me there for a sec!! Just the way it was phrased >surprised me. LOL ;-"D > > [View Quote] |
