Are we done with octal? I've been done by octal too many times :) I hate that most programming languages insist on interpreting numbers with leading xeros as octal. Personally, I've never seen any utility in octal that wasn't better served by hex.

Reminds me of college in 1982 when I spent one whole day ferreting out an LC letter L where a One should be amongst reems and reems of greenbar for a Fortran program. It was a typo that was hard to break, having been deliberately trained to type LC Ls for One and capital O's for Zero on an IBM Selectric typwriter in my high school typing class ten years earlier and having done it all that time prior to college.

When you say "LC letter", i think Lewis Carrol letter. Then again, with his games and math, he might have enjoyed our little poll.	[reply]

And when I see LC, I think of inductance and capacitance, since I recently helped my step-son out with the odd electronics and software questions while he was at Ryerson. Yep, still remember that stuff from university in the 70's and 80's. Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply]

Why on Earth did they deliberately train you to do that?! It's been a good many years since I've even seen a typewriter, but I can't remember them being constrained to the digits 2 to 9. They had 1 and 0 keys. Why not use them?	[reply]

Having a separate `1` key was an innovation that came fairly late in the game. Older typewriters didn't have it, and it wasn't until the late 1970s that you could count on it being there. So people were taught to type without it.	[reply] [d/l]
