178 Post = 288 Post ?

[Knittel]

If I go on my profile I see:
Posts: 178

But when I click on "Fina all posts by Knittel", the Forum finds 288.

How can that be right?

If I had a penny for every time I heard that...

[Mr.Onion]

You would have $0.

[diginova]

$0.01

[Mr.Onion]

$0. "If I had a penny for every time I heard that..."

[diginova]

he heard it once. So he has 1c ($0.01)

[Mr.Onion]

No, he has 1p, i.e. £0.01, which is $0.02. (Mwhahaha! Go stupidly high exchange rates! :p)

[diginova]

It all depends on what penny.
If you are talking about the 1p penny, then yes.
If you are talking about the 1c penny, then no.

[Mr.Onion]

1c is one cent, not one penny.

Pennies are the physical item (little round piece of copper) used to measure 1 cent (1/100 of 1 dollar) of value in America. 10 cents can be expressed with a dime, 2 nickels, 10 pennies, or a nickel and 5 pennies. Penny is the word, I'm afraid!

[Mr.Onion]

I was reffering to the currency called a penny. :roll:

[diginova]

But if you want to be official, 1/100 of a pound sterling is actually one pence... penny is just the name for the specific coin, just like the 1/100 of a dollar.

For other interesting things with cents, look at this:

Yes, as I said, our currency that represents 1/100 of a dollar IS definitely called a penny.

[diginova]

Yes it is... but so is the 1p piece for those people on the other side of the pond, so it sometimes gets confusing. And WP searching for "penny" links to THEIRS instead of ours.

Brandishing my membership badge of Pedants United, this is where I jump in and correct you. 'Penny' is the name of the monetary unit in the UK as well as the name of the lowest denomination coin. Strictly speaking, 'pence' is simply the plural of the monetary unit (several coins should be called 'pennies'), although people generally use 'penny' and 'pence' interchangeably. So a 1p piece is as likely to be referred to as being 'one pence' in value as 'one penny'.


All of which tells us precisely nothing about how much money Roland would have had by now...

[Roland]

Erm, it was an expression...

[souperzombie]

It started about somebody's comment posting stuff,
and then it goes on to talk about pennys...
