@BenjaminPutano Did they write the number in the book? No.

@BenjaminPutano I went to a National stationery store to buy printer ink. “What ink do I need for a BlahBlah X3001?” They didn’t know they didn’t know so they looked in the book that came from HQ. It wasn’t in there. So I searched on my phone, found the cartridge number and told the server…

There should be boxed sets of books without book one.

You buy book one to see if you, or your kid, like it, & want a set of the rest of the series, but you are forced to rebuy book 1 or buy them one at a time.

So sell the set without book one.

@gilbert I started to read that as a limerick...

There was once a PM at Slack,
Who started to take some flack.
Links work another way,
And not with Cmd+K.
And Ben wants his shortcut back.

@BenjaminPutano Interesting that on the spines the titles are more prominent in the first three books, then the author’s name is the bigger element from book four.

@kvistgaard You could try a Word macro. CopyComments is fairly basic https://t.co/1s6RWFJvN2

Or see here for more variations with numbers, for modern comments, etc. (link to pdf): https://t.co/jGaJJaeMt1

The brilliant Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - is a hero to me, so it was an unmissable opportunity to talk about her life and work on @BBCRadio4 Great Lives. You can catch it here. https://t.co/iEN31myek4 #ecologicaleconomics #systemsthinking @bethsawin

@daraobriain @simon3862 @georgie_grier She should play the Hilbert Hall (attached to the Hilbert Hotel).

@FinbarrFarrell @GrammarTable Both the above for “footfall”.

[Rob Worth @Rob_Worth]

@FinbarrFarrell @GrammarTable 2. 1979–
Originally British. The number of people entering or passing through a particular shop or shopping area, or other business, venue, etc., over a given period of time.

My guess is that the old peak is meaning 1 and the recent peak is meaning 2.

@FinbarrFarrell @GrammarTable “Footfall” seems to be the phrase in British English. Used in US English too, but slightly behind “foot traffic”. See Ngram results.
