closed About numbers in English (N.com)

[tony_dnforum]

in the English world, what numbers such as 0,1,2...,9 are good numbers? what numbers are not good ? I just know people don't like 13.

(sorry I have to put a domain name N.com in the title otherwise I can not post )

Thanks!

My favorites are 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6, because I used them for letter substitutions. 0 = o; 1 = i or l; 2 = to; 4 = for; and 6 for sex.

2,7,3

I like 13. Why not. I don´t know why the 0 it´s not very welcome. There is a negative trend with certain numbers. That´s truth.

9 and 1

I think there was a thread here some time ago on 360...something, something 360, implying an all-round view of something. Then someone posted 101 (e.g. parking101) and 911 as nos. that have become part of the regular lexicon of the vocabulary.

3 and 7.

Ask someone to think of a number between 1 and 5. Most will choose 3.

Ask someone to think of a number between 1 and 10. Most will choose 7.

Tested many times.

I like 121 because of its implied privacy.
