Numbers!

Tonight's class was all about numbers. According to my instructor, nobody likes numbers. I can see why. I never liked them in my standard typing class either. Although, we changed our settings in the translation program (Eclipse) that we use to make writing numbers easier, and it helped a lot. I was actually getting the hang of it by the end of class.

BTW, did you know that there are cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers? I never knew the way you write a number actually has a name. Cardinal numbers are 1, 2, 3, four, five, six, etc. Ordinal numbers are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, fourth, fifth, sixth and so on.

We learned how to type dates, decimals, fractions, large numbers, dollar amounts and even Roman numerals.

One of the gals in class had an orthodontist appointment and had to miss class. Of all classes to miss ~ this was not the one. I hope she gets a chance to meet with the instructor. The author of our book crammed a lot of information in Chapter 25!
