I am not sure it's fair to include Canada in the same basket. We don't use freedom degrees, we know that numbers should start with the most significant digits and I believe liability waivers have no value here as well.
- ano-ther 2y ago> numbers should start with the most significant digits Am curious: where does that not happen in the US? (And in parts of Canada they say 4-20-10 to mean 90 :-)
- jpambrun 2y agoI know I am in Quebec and speak French. I would prefer the Belgian way of octante/nonante. L. It happens with dates and makes them unsortable.
- BrandoElFollito 2y ago4-20-10 (quatre vingt dix) is weird for non-French speakers, as "siedemdziesiat" is weird to non-Polish speakers, or any other word in a foreign language. To us French this is a word like others, it's not like we are calculating in our heads. Belgians have "septante" which is more logical but they do not calculate either.
- xxs 2y agoI did respond to another comment. The punctuation was very much on purpose, "+Canada", w/o the leading space to denote that there is a separation.
