I like beautiful numbers. This morning I had just published 595 posts. A palindromic number. A year ago, I had resolved to keep a low profile here and only stay in the background...
When I then created a picture of the number 595, I wanted to know if others had also just written a nice number of posts at the moment. And look: 11 twice, followed by 161, 313, 1,909 and 1,272. That's what I call a coincidence: Six people have a number at the same time, which is read the same from the back and the front. (Since the thousands here in the forum are separated by a comma in the American manner, I just ignore them).
Yes, the way thousands are written varies from region to region: apostrophe, comma, full stop, space, nothing. The comma irritates me because we need it to separate the decimals - except for money, where the full stop is used. With four-digit numbers, we don't separate the thousand, and with five-digit numbers and above, we do it with a space. That may seem strange to you. That's how it is, the writing of telephone numbers is regulated differently depending on the country.
