I think it was in TIME Magazine that I saw a question that is related to
DEnnis' query about the aughties. How will we abbreviate the date?
1-1-00? 01/01/00? TIME editors pointed out that they had already used
the double-aught.
Do your university students understand 'aught' and 'naught'? I've come
across convenience-story clerks (Caucasian) who don't know how much
four bits would be.
Ah, the old language! The younger generation!
