muddywolf Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Why are some people arguing over its usefulness? The emergency services has said it has saved lives, it is a free app, and yet some people cant grasp the benefit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how great the potential of an idea there will always be plenty of negativity, at least on here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't understand or or don't agree with it then it's wrong, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I tend to think that how we are feeling can often reflect what we contribute. I don't know if certain posters are always negative. Or as mentioned, they are negative only when they don't agree or underdstand. I don't mind being told I have got something wrong as happens occasionally , but it is invariably accompanied by abruptness or nastiness. There is still too much "attacking the poster".

It's not that no equivalent is needed for 0-9, just that there isn't an equivalent. It's very common for numbers to be misheard, happens all the time when trying to communicate phone numbers over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't like americanisms, for this reason I use 'zero'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
