I can’t find a snappy translation for the word ‘Schnapszahl’. So if someone asks you what it is, you’ll just have to say that it’s a number in which all digits are identical and give them an example (like 11.11. at 11.11!).

How would you answer this question? Well, there are a few ways. Let’s look:
I’m 23.
I’m 23 years old.
I’m 23 years of age. (This is rather formal.)
We don’t say: I’m 23 years.
Isn’t this true?
Of course, there are different ways to write the date. However, I recommend the following ways:
10 January 2015 (UK)
January 10, 2015 (US) – with a comma after the figure!
I suggest that you don’t write the date like this: 10.01.2015. For me it means 10 January 2015 but for an American it would mean 1 October. And I find that very confusing! 😉
Even if you like your job, you might like to test yourself with this BBC test (developed by psychometric specialist Neil Scott of Cassin-Scott Associates) to find out which careers suit you best. And if you don’t like your job, then it might be time to change! 😉
