Talk:European numerals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm sure you know that the NATO phonetic alphabet is a way to pronounce the letters of the alphabet to keep the possibility of someone mishearing one letter as another (for example, B can be misheard as V but if you use "Bravo" for B and "Victor" for V it makes them easily distinguishable. Has anyone thought of a similar thing for the shapes of numbers just as the NATO phonetic alphabet is for the sounds of letters?? Such a thing would almost definitely need a crossed 7, but anything besides that?? 66.32.244.248 01:35, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] explanations
The article makes extensive use of terms like "bowls" and "descenders". Perhaps a section to explain these?
