  1. In Australia Lieutenant is pronounced Lyoo-tenant. I'm sure it is in most other primarily English speaking countries too. I've only ever heard the oily's call it a lef-tenant which I always thought was caused by the same thing that causes oily's to mispronounce many words in general. I always say, imagine creating the dominant language on the planet, then not being able to speak it correctly. That's how oilys are though. Edit: I wasn't into the reordering. It didn't make a whole lot of sense. It failed to understand the context of the rank and therefore why it made etymological sense to be the way it currently is. For example, surely a private servant is below a servant to the crown. By your ranking security guards should be more powerful than police.

  2. I saw you on DW the other day, I have to say it was weird seeing you on a propaganda station. Honestly, seeing you on DW made me lose an awful lot of respect for you.

  3.  @Kenan-Z  I have no idea who that is. I'm not ok with Rob Words being a propagandist for yankville and germany via the demonstrably highly corrupt german national broadcaster. It makes me lose respect for Rob Words and consider unsubscribing because I don't want to support a propagandist, but I have always enjoyed his Rob Words content. That's the whole thing. I'd like Rob Words to go work for a news org that isn't into pushing state sponsored propaganda. DW has less integrity than Fox News, The Daily Mail or The Guardian. At least they all serve corporate interests, instead of national interests which violate human rights. Working for DW is like working for RT.

  4. The eNG one would be great to bring back. The rest either resemble existing letters too much or don't really bring anything useful to the table. I don't know how to make the eNG character on mobile.

  5. 100% agree on the milliard and billion. It was only relatively recent to Australia that a thousand million became a billion. Right into the early 2000s a billion was still a million million. We didn't use milliard though, we just called it a thousand million. If you really stop to think about it, this way actually makes the most sense for progression under base 10 counting.
