------- Additional comments from t...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 22 01:26:40 +0000 2010 ------- OK. Just a few comments: * The RecentDocuments list merely attaches shortcut keys to files. It does not tell the user to number his/her documents from 0. * Your reference to 'ordinal numbers' was useful. Wikipedia states: 'The finite ordinals (and the finite cardinals) are the natural numbers: 0, 1, 2, …,' Yes: '0' heads the list. *If Bell had numbered the telephone dial from 0, we would not have today different keypads for telephones and calculators or computers. As you know,'0'(not 10) follows the '9' on a telephone; weird math. *The first hour in a day is '0'.If a train is scheduled half an hour after midnight, it leaves at 0:30, not 1:30. *People who celebrated 2000 jan.1 did so 1999 --not 2000-- years after the (supposed) birth of Jesus. Why? because 'they' numbered years from 1, not 0. For the same reason, there are 99 --not 100-- between jan.1, 50 BC and jan.1, 50 AD. *If centuries had been counted from 0, we would have 1975 in century 19, not in the 20th century, and we would now be in century 20 --as expected, in the year 2010. *If OO headings were renamed Heading0...Heading9, one would not have Heading10 between Heading1 and Heading2 in the stylist. *As for OO being 'too technical', well, you cannot please everybody. Not all users are technophobic. If you extended the list beyond 10 files with letters, would people complain that your are numbering in hexadecimal? *Conclusion: I won't reopen the issue; I leave that up to you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
