January 9[edit]

How are years written in India? (December 29)[edit]

It's so annoying when you draft a reply to a comment and when you come to post it the discussion has archived. Couldn't the bot be programmed not to archive discussions until at least 24 hours after the last comment? I did in fact read that article before my last comment, and I saw no evidence of the phenomenon you describe. It appears to me to be a discourse on numbers generally, with no specific reference to dates. I know thgere are terms such as lakh and crore (which the government is trying to stamp out) which create anomalies in the way a number is punctuated. 2A02:C7B:228:3400:A180:B29C:E1CD:CF6B (talk) 13:35, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
