There was a story on Cbc Friday about Chinese people being superstitious about the number four. Apparently, in Cantonese the word for four is also the same word for death. Cities are giving people the option of replacing the four in their street address.
Will our bending over backward for these people never end? This is carrying accommodation too far. We live in Canada. Our numerical system goes
1234567890
and if you don't like it, leave.
