Error'd: Filling

We got quite a few irregular submissions this week from regularcontributors. Which is to say routine contributors. We're not qualified to make judgements about whether or not anyone is whatwhat most folks would call normal.

First up,Isaac D. is struggling with localization,kvetching"Apparently this number format is ALIVE and WELL in partsof India and Afghanistan, but us poor Australians on desktopbrowsers also seem to be visually assaulted with it. Iwonder if the Zuck will pay me $1,00,000 for reportingit or do real country borders mean nada in the Metaverse? ;)"This would ordinarily be controlled by some operatingsystem or browser configuration, would it not?

EducatedPeter G. has had his absolute fillof overwrought maths. This is just a bridge too far for Peter."We've had issues with excessive rain recently, goodthing the dams are going above and beyond to help storeit all." I naively imagine that the managing authorityhas definedtarget capacity as something like 90% of the absolute maximumwith a reserve for safety, but perhaps a clueful Kiwi will comment with a well-informed explanation?

Sam tries to be punctual, he really does. But the gourmands in the big city brook no tardiness at all. Frets he, "I encountered this trying to book dinner. I'm worried I might be late.Or early." I hope they'll let him sit at the bar and wait if heanticipates his appointment.

Meanwhile Mark has a small problem with avery (very) small dinner party."Tried to make a reservation for some coworkersand got this confirmation email from OpenTable. I knowthey'll be jet lagged, so hopefully they can arriveprecisely by 1:17am." Personally, I'm quite curious about the menu.

Finally, autodidactAndreas R. flexes his ten years award from Duolingo for us. "Apparently I studied 8027 words in the past year alonebut only 5758 in total over the last ten years. So Iguess I spent the previous nine years forgetting 2269 words."Seriously, ten years of doing anything is pretty noteworthy,even if you've forgot almost more than you've learned. Mark is holding a celebratory dinner party for you, don't be late!
