Same in Denver for some of the old exchanges. I still have the phone
number my inlaws got in 1963, though it is currently sitting as a mostly
unused google voice number.

I've tried to find a list of the old exchange names a few times, but
haven't discovered it online. The ones I know are TA(bor), PE(arl),
SP(ruce), RA(ce) and SU(nset) or possibly SU(ndown) which was a suburban
exchange. Around 1950 Denver moved to 7 digit numbers, so a number like
Pearl 1234 became Pearl3 1234.

Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a
poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nurse it
back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay
dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the
snake answered, "Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."

The first two phone numbers I memorized were LUdlow 4-3307 (my
grandmother's) and TRemont 2-1092 (my parents').  Actually, I had
trouble memorizing LU4-3307 and memorized it as 584-3307, anticipating
all-digit dialing by about 15 years.

area codes are no longer optional in almost every case. mobile phones
and anywhere with an overlay requires them, even if the call is going
next door.

the accepted format for nanp is now:

+cc-npa-nxx-xxxx

where cc is the country code, npa is the area code, nxx is the exchange
and and x is any digit.

thus, apple's main phone number would be:
+1-408-996-1010

the +1 is often omitted, especially for those who don't expect any
international phone calls.

Using () around area code / toll codes *should* make it easier for
people who don't have to use them. For example, telephone numbers in
the Auckland region of New Zealand have the area code 09, but people
within Auckland don't need to dial that, so listing a phone number as
"(09)123-4567" makes it more obvious.

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple in reality since, thanks to
idiocy at Telecom NZ years ago and the huge spread of the "Auckland
region", people phoning to / from the outlying areas of Auckland do
have to be dialled using the 09 code.  :-\

It gets worse since international caller shouldn't include the 0,
meaning they have to phone "+64-(0)9-123-4567".

When 10 digit dialing became common (early 90's?) then using the 
brackets became somewhat of an anachronism.

I've even sent print jobs back (thousands of business cards) because the 
printer decided on his own to add the parenthesis and even hyphens.

eg: I sent him:     123 576 2101

he printed:	    (123) 576-2101

Back they went...

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_conventions_for_writing_telephone_numbers>

"The traditional formatting convention for phone numbers is (NPA)
NXX-XXXX, where NPA is the area code and NXX-XXXX is the subscriber
number. The NXX prefix of the subscriber number indicates the local
telephone exchange or rate center. The format can be written
NPA-NXX-XXXX, or as 1-NPA-NXX-XXXX when including the number 1, the
long-distance trunk access code. Sometimes the stylized format
NPA.NXX.XXXX is seen, more common since the rise of the Internet and the
dot-separated notation of domain names.

"Originally, local calls within an area code could be placed by dialing
NXX-XXXX (omitting the area code), known as 7-digit dialing. The
traditional formatting convention included the area code in parenthesis
to indicate that dialing the area code for local calls was optional.
Calling a number in a different area code required dialing that code
first (i.e., NPA-NXX-XXXX) known as 10-digit dialing. Most codes retain
these rules today; in these areas, phone numbers continue to be written
as 7-digit numbers, and frequently appear on signage for local stores.

"With the rapid growth of telephony in the late 20th century, large
metropolitan areas saw the introduction of overlay codes in the mid and
late 1990s. With two or more area codes becoming available in the same
vicinity, mandatory ten-digit dialing rules were instituted, requiring
the area code to be dialed for all calls. The trunk code 1 remains
optional for local calls in some of these areas."

I have and always will write phone numbers using the correct and easily
readable (604)555-1212 method, but the silly current fad is to remove
all punctuation and use spaces instead (ie. 604 555 1212).

Equally bad are people (including Apple) who insist on writing the time
using a decimal point. It's not "1.30pm", it should be "1:30pm" with a
colon (or if you really want to use a decimal point, try "1.5pm").

it's not a fad and area codes in () is obsolete.

For writing the time 13.30 is much better in your example.

One of my pet peeves is including the 'm' in 'am' or 'pm' when using the 
12-hour clock. It's not needed; why use it? 1:30p tells you everything 
you need to know.

It's really "1:30 A.M." But a 24 clock does wonders.

Wow. I thought I was picky!

My peeve is when people announce "It was 1:30 A.M. in the morning".

Technically, yes, but using lowercase and no dots means the time takes
up less space, especially on my Mac's menubar.  :-)

My current screen is only a 17" CRT (by the time some applications add
a load of menu titles, it can be quite crowded) ... but I started using
9" Mac Plus displays. When the OS allows, I have also tended to use a
skinnier font  :-)

Competitions often list their closing date / time as being either
"midnight" (with no numbers) or "11:59pm". The same often happens with
marketing launches saying "midnight" or "12:01am".

Mine is using idiotic phone-words instead of phone-numbers. Having
0800-IDIOTS-R-US may be easier to remember, but it's more difficult to
dial (which is why often the idiots put both the phone-word and the
phone-number).
