Since this seems to be our big opportunity to say what is bugging us
:-), I must add this. I bought stamps yesterday and printed, by our
government, on those stamps was the notation that the cost was .33
cents. Since one hundred of these cost me $33 and not 33 cents, I must
assume that this is a decimal error. I have gotten use to such errors
at my local Walmart but I'm concerned that such an error occurs
nationally.
