[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2349383, member: 130638"] Eight is similarly used in Japan for the same reasons then. I never looked into this, but because of the cultural influences over the many hundreds (and thousands) of years in what is now East Asia, it would seem like more countries than just China and Japan embrace 8. I haven't seen 8 in significant use beyond trinkets or license plates and sometimes in phone numbers, but that's only because you can read and memorize those as ha-ha-ha (888), though. Pronunciation is another thing that popped up after I saw use in phone numbers. An example of this is that we have two local beers, one called 75 and the other, 78. You wouldn't read them numerically, though. They would be NA (7) - GO (5) and NA (7) - HA (8) for the two cities they originate from. [/QUOTE]
