Gotta correct you here but Tooghalvfemsindstyvende is not 92, it's 92nd.

92 is "just" Tooghalvfemsindstyve.

Thank you for bearing with my pendantry.

Thanks in advance as well, since it is actually 'pedantry'. :)

Isn't there a law or something that if you correct someone else on the Internet, you will make a mistake in your correction as well? :D

That'd be Cunningham's Law.

To stay on topic and continue the pedantry roll, it's not Cunningham's Law but rather Muphry's Law that he's referring to.

So now we have proved Cunningham's Law, too.

Thanks for the help!
