Duly noted Mike! Nor did I expressly state or otherwise imply infer or suggest that you did! Inasmuch as numerous websites having been reported to publish said DUKW translation, it must concluded in respect of the particular website mentioned independently by me, to wit: AWM website, that such mention is owed solely to its particular interest in this forum, and that any resemblance to the "major institution's website" mentioned initially is purely coincidental!

Seriously though I have no hesitation whatsoever in naming and shaming any institution, let alone a publicly funded one, which through laziness alone publishes utterly incorrect information within its professed field of expertise, and which through both illiteracy and stupidity abuses language and logic to the extent of introducing and describing alphabetic numbers! Perhaps that's because I'm of a generation when the three R's mattered and we were taught to recognize which squiggly symbols were letters and which ones were numerals, and how they worked to construct words and numbers respectively. 3ND o5 R@N7!
