That's interesting. I also read it as "Four", but now I look at it and it reads "five". Could be some brain trick.

- hamilyon2 10y agoSame for me. Very interesting. Non-native speaker from mobile device
- situationista 10y agoSame. Fascinating.
- Quinner 10y agoInteresting, same here, perhaps we actually processed the numeral in the child comment subconsciously while reading the written-out five in the parent.
- euyyn 10y agoOr the numeral in the buy price.
- babuskov 10y agoThis seems more plausible, because the initial comment only had that one.
- brianpan 10y ago> only had that one. Did it? The deal of the century was when SAIC bought Network Solutions for $4.7M in 1995. Five years later, they sold it to VeriSign for $21B.
- babuskov 10y agoYou misunderstood. He couldn't see a comment on his own post because it wasn't written yet. He could only see the $4.7M which you quoted.
- Keyframe 10y agoSame, must be a caching issue with that 4 in the sentence before (F our F ive)... hail mary attempt at explanation.
