Dean Hall Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Seat belt laws are also beginning to come into play in China in some of the major cities. Shenzhen is starting to make a pretty big deal of it, at least on private vehicles, and I noticed in GZ that taxi drivers were making the front passengers belt up. Dean Link to comment

keelec Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Why husband 33Q. Why is it you were born in nineteen fifty four but this year is two thousand four not twenty four?A. Because thats just the way people talk I guess.Interesting question. I think people always use what is easiest. In this case, compare: One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty FourNineteen Fifty Four Twenty Four???? (Kind of ambiguous)Twenty - Oh - Four.... Two Thousand Four- Oh - Four I assume that by the year 2021, they will use:Twenty Twenty One (or Two Thousand Twenty One). I doubt I will make it to 2104, but I have no doubt that it will be called:Twenty-One-Oh-Fourrather than usingTwo Thousand One Hundred Four Link to comment
