So, I’m currently in day three of a four-day training session for a new marketing tool we will be using and a colleague asked a question about the provider’s uptime (related to their servers). The woman leading the session responded with something similar to: “Ninety-nine dot, I don’t know…nine, nine”
I didn’t end her statement (above) with a . or ?, because I’m not sure if it was a . or a ?.
Our Web Developer piped up and said, “I believe the standard is five nines. Nine, nine, dot, nine, nine, nine.”
I had a momentary relapse to high school and ad-libbed a short scene from Inglourious Basterds.
Five out of eight people in the session laughed (o.l.).[1]
[1]: Not including the instructor (similar to high school). She must have left her sense of humor in her other khakis.
