Interesting fact about sep==9, oct==10.  In most (all?) dialects
of Chinese, as well as at least some other Asian languages,
The months don't have special names, but are just "one month",
"two month", etc.  So September IS "nine month".  The days are
also just refered to by number, with Sunday being a special
case.  It's called the "week day", and other days are called
(sort of) "week day one", etc.  That fact was brought home to
me recently when a Taiwanese friend said, "I'll see you on
Tuesday" and held up two (tue?) fingers.
