Indian TV news anchor fired after calling Xi Jinping 'Eleven'

Gilbakka,

Do you remember how many lashes you received from your teacher when you were learning to read and write Roman numerals?  

Thankfully, no lashes. I picked up Roman numerals quickly. Our alarm clock at home had Roman numerals. My mother taught me to read the time before the teacher brought up Roman numerals. Also, the big wall clock at Uitvlugt railway station had Roman numerals.

I remember the railway station,that was a nice

place,also the market on week ends,cinema

bars...good old days.

we had one ah dem cookoo clock, man ah tell yo I was cookoo before I could tell the time 

The good thing about Roman numerals is that we didn't have to add, subtract, multiply or divide them. We were required merely to understand them.

As I mentioned, I learned Roman numerals quickly and loved to decipher them. Some movies had their production year stated in Roman numerals. I was quick to sort them out.

Incidentally, when I started my working life I bought a Roman numerals wrist watch with my first pay. 

The way I look at it is this way.  That guy may really be Jinping the 11th or 11 Jinping.  There is no difference between the Chinese Communist Party and the Imperial Royal Court of China.  They are both based on imperial Chinese land expansion. That is why they both have/had land disputes with every Asian nation.  In fact  Mao Zedong refered to the  Xuantong Emperor Puyi the 1st as his predecessor.  So this guy may be  Jinping the 11th or 11 Jinping.  Take your pick or I should say take your royal pick.
