Come to a school in the States. Say "1776" and wait ten minutes, then someone might sheepishly raise his or her hand and say something along the lines of independance. Most students will just hear "76" and immediately think you're asking them a basketball question (Philadephia 76ers). _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
