It is ...I am in full support of the Ought movement. It is much better than the "Oh (year)" thing that I have had to tolerate for 8 years. "Oh" is a letter, not a number!! :) <BR/><BR/>Today, I heard some one say "Oh Ten" referring to 2010. Aaaaahhh! You get 2 digits ('10) or four digits like "twenty ten" or "two kay ten". But not 3 digits, unless you are referring to an actual 3 digit year, such as "The Celts attacked Rome in 387 B.C.".<BR/><BR/>"oh ten" is a double peeve. If I have to hear about "oh ten", "oh eleven"... followed by the "oh twenties"... someone is going to get hurt.<BR/><BR/>For you Canadian types, referring to zero or zee as zed is still acceptable :)Patrick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619958501050173190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590559696648785994.post-43801044505910025022009-01-14T15:35:00.000-08:002009-01-14T15:35:00.000-08:00So the arctic blast of 09 doesn't work? Our child...So the arctic blast of 09 doesn't work? Our children's children can speak of "several inches" of snow which "crippled" our roadways for "days and days". Of course, none of them will speak of shoveling their driveways because kids these days are too soft for such things. Kids.erikvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531134782159212943noreply@blogger.com
