Just a curio: When the EU asked for suggestions of names for the new
"cent," I suggested "sent," which conveyed the same ideation as the
"cent," but adapted the term to the Euro. [Self-puffery.] [More
self-puffery: I thought my suggestion was pretty good, and I don't
understand why it wasn't adopted <grin>].
