Phone #s

Interesting.

I added my phone number to the Facebook phone number glossary, or rather, phonebook.

(562) 774-7295

Nearly everyone went with periods to break up the digits.

Notably, Mark Makin, Jonathan Wright, and I did not.

Jonathan may have blundered a bit with an extra dash though.

"(562)-325-2541"

Blundering isn't like him.

I believe I would have chosen the parenthetical and dash without having looked at others' entries.

I want to say there's something to this, but I dunno.

What I want to say is the following:

Everyone's both trying to be cool and also our technological age has made the xxx.xxx.xxxx format cool (businesses have been doing it for a while, probably to appear sleek and technical like the internetting).

Louis did it, perhaps without thinking, because he has become accustomed to it, but prior to that familiarity considered this issue, thinks in this case that it is not a compromise to adopt the format and the advantage is to became appealing to his market; consumer perception is important and is not necessarily self-deception; using this format can actually represent having a finger on the pulse of whatever one needs to know the pulse of.

Makin broke suit, because he pays little attention to trends and is not a follower.

Jon and Max did it to uphold tradition and do not have a particular reason to break with it.

Max especially did it to flaunt his rebellion.

But I dunno.
