   TIL that phone numbers are considered to be amounts in Mandarin.

   so instead of "what's your phone number" it's more like "how much is your phone number" afaict.

     @michel_slm @technomancy @oz And floors 4, 14 etc don't exist. Really superstition-inclusive constructions don't include a floor 13 either.

     @oz @technomancy reminds me of how in French you "have" an age rather than "are"

     @clacke @technomancy @oz yup. I have been in an office tower in Malaysia (which is around 20+% Chinese) where they managed to take out 4, 13, 14 and 24... but forgot about B4
