The numbers in spoken Cantonese for 3 (Saam), 8 (Baat)and 9 (Gau) sound the same as in Thai. Because Thais lived in and around Guangzhou province, before they emigrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place, for example, is charging foreigners ten times what they want from Thais. Unfortunately, that is not the subject being discussed/polled and I doubt there will be any effect on this shameful practice. The poll is about terminating the use of Thai numbers in official documents. Frankly, I have to side with the Government on this, the numbers do reflect some Thai culture (just like the use of B.E. years instead of A.D. years) and it's perfectly possible for a computer system to deal with them, just as computer systems can deal with hundreds or thousands of different alphabetical scripts and ideograms systems.

tjo o tjim Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I imagine the problem is a lot like trying to use roman numerals for everything; there are no default software libraries for treating them as numbers so you have to go through them (more) manually. If this is the case, the proper course of action is to build a library/api to address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 If only they would print the dammed vehicle tax date in Numerals, i.e 01/06/22 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same issue in Arabic countries.... why don't Europeans and Americans dump the Gregorian Calendar in favor of the Islamic one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayut did not say that Thai would become the number one language used in the world! I suppose if you looked at it back to front and upside down maybe JayClay is correct, NOT Will means the same as would except normally refers to future tense where as would normally past!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes seems to be an anomaly perhaps. Thai id cards, passports, driving license etc include birth dates as numerals for day date and year with the month spelt in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry. You're not nitpicking. You're just wrong. from the Cambridge online dictionary "of or from a long time ago, having lasted for a very long time" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/ancient Edited June 1, 2022 by cdemundo added "just" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus...re-visit your English grammar lessons. "Will" does not mean the same as "would". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe English isn't your first language but surely whatever language you natively speak has the concept of conditionals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
