[edit] Question I've asked several times before
Why has Latin nona- been adopted for 9 although the others are Greek?? Georgia guy 18:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly due to the usual English language lack of consistency, infecting international standards bodies. In short, that's just the way it came out. ww 05:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] examples, please!
The article recounts the rules, but does so in a particularly opaque way. We are writing an encyclopedia article here, not preaching to the organic choir, and examples really do help Average Readers make sense of such material. ww 05:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
