ordinal numbers

Yes, we write 2. (or II.) to in place of 2nd.

[Ecthy]

yep, so do we. in a colloquial sense we also say just "William two" sometimes, but that's rare. and yes, common phrasing is "the second"

[MrWhereItsAt]

My wrestling character name.

It came from my crush a few years ago on a girl named Beck. "Where It's At" being a song by artist Beck, the connection was (somehow) obvious.

Now it's a name for various accounts, email addys etc all over the Web.

[Messer Niccolò]

Mercator, whenever I see you posting I think Saint Marcus has striked again.

I'm getting all confused myself too...
But I was the first with this avatar damnit! (But I shouldn't go fighting over Mr. Fortuyn )... I'll probably change it back after the elections tomorrow.

And the dot-thing isn't used in Holland either, it's only one of the few things I still remember from the German I had at school

[ramses II.]

@mercator
yes, II. means "the second" and so on (e.g. 21. - twenty-first,
so Wilhelm II. - Wilhelm the Second)

[Ecthy]

mercator, are you also a Dutch right winger Nazi Fortuyn voter?

[Mercator]

No, (1) I'm not Dutch, so I can't vote (2) he was no Nazi.

[H Tower]

H Tower should be High Tower, but since there was only a limit amount of space ... Back in High school gym class playing volleyball, i was the tallest kid out there and was a powerhouse at the net, so my teammates called me High Tower, after the really tall black guy from the police academy movies

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Rufus T. Firefly is the name of Groucho's character, the President of Freedonia, in the Marx Brothers' movie Duck Soup. I've always thought that if I were actually allowed to run a country, he would be my role model.

[Playa del Carmen]

Playa del Carmen- a city on the Yucatan penninsula of Mexico (I believe.)
