Daniel D. humblebrags that he can spell. "Ordering is easy, but alphabet is hard. Anyway for this developer it was. Can anyone spot which sorting algo they used?" Next he'll probably rub it in that he can actually read unlike the TDWTF staff. I guess we'll never know.
"We're all artsy in Massachusetts," explains Bruce C. as some kind of justification for this WTF. "My university is validating its records. Now I see why they have problems."
"Who knew they were twins?" tittered topical Walt T. "Only one twin can be VP at a time!" Or as the case may be, neither.
Never Forget the 11th of Septiembre, observes Tim K. "I've been meaning to submit a WTF in the past few days but this came upon my doorstep this morning."

It should come as no surprise to anyone who has been
hanging around these parts for any length of time, but
for every rule you take for granted, there is inevitably
an exception. In this case, there are two.

you're missing is actually a lower-cased 5.
Exception the snecond: Chinese does have both "big" (dàxiě)
and "little" (xiǎoxiě) forms of its number representations.
