This is the smartest promotional idea a damn dictionary publisher has ever had. I can't believe that (1) anyone there even thought to reach out to him and (2) the idea was then allowed to go forward.
In absolute terms it's completely unimpressive but we're talking about engaging dictionary content. That exists, in reality.

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.

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.

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

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 = 8Pronounced: ba ba (or close to papa). So that is why is it fathers day on that date!!
