Reply to comment by Camp_Coffee in TIL John Williams has been nominated for 52(FIFTYTWO) Oscars. by Robinsonirish
Yea, maybe it was a dumb call. When i was in the military transmitting coordinates by data, for certain situations we would type out the numbers in text to eliminate misunderstandings. For example, if logging indirect fire missions when you have a lot of time on your hands(during preplanning).
So I guess my thought was just to really pin it home how insane the number 52 is in this case, I hope you understand what I mean :)
