And what about this?

Why is NUMBER abbreviate by the letters NO? There isn't an 'o' in the word 'number'!

Its always "no. 2" not "nu. 2". What's up with that?

I totally see your point! How about nicknames? Like Dick for Richard. Or Peggy for Margaret. Huh? Where's the connection there? Who came up with those & why? I'll have to ponder this now.
