  • I mean the last 4 English month names are basically <#>month, but never got updated when the Romans switched from a 10 month calendar to a twelve month calendar. The suffix -ber comes from the latin word for month, with the prefix being the Latin number Septem = 7, Octo = 8, Novem = 9, Decem = 10. The two new months (January and February) were inserted at the start of the year throwing the naming off by 2.

    July and August were originally called Quintilis and Sextilis so the 5th and 6th months and renamed after the calendar change, to honour Julius and Augustus.





  • In addition to the exclusives issue, the client and store were not particularly well made and were missing pretty standard features stuff like no shopping cart so if you wanted to buy multiple games at the same time you had to do them as separate purchases and stuff like wishlisting.

    I remember Valve got quite a bit of dislike when they first introduced Steam as a requirement to play Counter Strike Source and HL2 (of course back then it was only for Valves own games).














  • I’m intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.
