Douglas, I am a mathematician, after all, so I notice these number things.  Bruce |

Clarification of my comic: I assumed most everybody noticed the 1066, but said nothing because it wasn �t really important to the conversation, but Bruce addressed the "elephant in the room". I know it doesn �t fit exactly, but it came to mind. |

But, Douglas, it was very important to the conversation, because "one thousand sixty-six" was not the year being discussed, so I thought your cartoon was right on point. Bruce |

>>Jayho I �m really surprised, it �s quite common the USA and I figured it was more global (Elephants make me think of India, so maybe somewhere in my head I tied it to BE). The link I gave mentions addressing the elephant in the living room", I don �t think I �d heard that version before. |

I �m intrigued - I �m going to ask around to see if it �s just me or in general. |

I �ve read just now all the debate about my typo (yes, it was just a typo). I �m really busy and I don �t visit the site so often. Anyway, thanks for your attention, your help and your time.  |

So, if the year was supposed to be 1066, then either ten sixty-six or one thousand sixty-six is correct. Bruce |
