On a similar topic: Just this past week I was taking an order over the phone
and my customer was giving me his credit card expiration date. He said,
"expires in naught 2." I was flabbergasted. I had not heart the "naught" word
since my dad passed away, and even then he was the only I ever heard use it.
He always said, "well, I was born in naught 6." It always seemed extremely
distant and old fashioned to use "naught." Now history repeats itself.
By the way, I just scheduled a workshop in naught 1. (I ought to know the
correct spelling, but I probably don't)
