Why not G8? NEW
dk1027 - 6 months ago
Canon skipped from S3 to S5 perhaps because of \"4\" being an unlucky number
but 8 is supposed to be a lucky number in chinese culture. Even in english \"G8\" kind of sounds like \"Great\"!
Could it be that 8 = 2 x 4, and \"2\" sounds like \"easy\" in chinese/cantonese; and \"2 8\" sounds like \"easy\" \"die\"?!
btw, whos thinking about selling G7 to get G9?
edit: \"4\" sounds similar to \"die\" in Chinese, hence considered unlucky.

Yes, in China, 8 is a lucky number, but G8 pronounced the same as \"penis\" (\"jeeba/jiba\") in Chinese.
