why isnt that a phone number?
My brain doesn't 'see' it as such when it's said like that. Phone touch pads do not have fifty eight on them. They have 5 and 8. Phone numbers are written as 555-5837 not 555-58-37. So my brain doesn't process it when someone says it like it's a date instead of individual numbers. Totally unimportant but it bugs the living h*ll out of me.
