    Hey, TG, Why do you have so many 55555s in your posts? I have watched and thought it would become clear to me over time. But...it hasn't. So please shed some light on this so I don't feel so dense.

      In Thai language, the number "5" is pronounced like "ha". So, 555 is ha ha ha.

      Kind of like LOL in English. 🙂

        Ha! I mean..5!

        I knew there was something behind that I just didn’t understand.

          Straightup I thought it because she was posting on an international phone of some sort. Holy crap I've probably thought that for years if not a decade.

          Please love yourself.

            TG shared this several months ago. Pay attention, boys!

            Don't worry. TG, I'll whip them into shape and have them paying attention to all your posts.

                    Just out of curiousity, TG, is there any number in Thai that is pronounced 'Bwah'? Like maybe 7...

                      Crap. There isn't.

                      https://www.into-asia.com/thai_language/reference/numbers.php

                      Interesting that zero is pronounced 'soon'. I think our politicians are speaking Thai.

                      'Mr. President, when will we see results?'

                      'Soon'.

                          In various Chinese dialects, the number 8 often has a pronunciation that is closest to the “ba” sound.

                              Yep, in Taiwan, Fathers day is August 8.

                              Month = 8
                              Day = 8

                              Pronounced: ba ba (or close to papa). So that is why is it fathers day on that date!!
