You know it's bad when any self-respecting software engineer says "That data needs to be in a database, not a spreadsheet." My last company I worked for, the accounting department had a spreadsheet that looked like it may have had over 500,000 cells in it. I do know we had to remove their 32-bit version of Excel and install a 64-bit version as the 32-bit version didn't have enough memory to handle the spreadsheet.

@FHL-Devils

On the flip side, if a country refused to get on board, they would have no international mail to or from that nation. This would annihilate the national economy. So in reality, just like everything else, the penalty for not standardizing is exponentially greater than any potential gains from holding out for a greater share (such as the American lunacy behind refusing to adopt the metric system). So it's less about cooperation than securing ones own economic viability.

It's amazing how many complex systems in the world that we think are highly sophisticated are actually managed using Excel spreadsheets.

Actually I will be the nauseating nerd and explain that Maltava is only partially correct. Acronyms by definition MUST spell actual words. NASA may be pronounced like a word but it was not in the dictionary until the Administration came into existence. COLA is a true acronym because cola, the drink, exists as a word independently from a Cost Of Living Adjustment(COLA). COLA may not be the best example but it is a proper acronym. I once had to explain to my friend that even her professor did not know the correct definition of “generic.” He meant general degree.

I’ve actually always wondered about how this works! Last April, I was in the Maldives, specifically the Dhaalu Atoll, and I sent a postage letter to Charlotte, NC. I wondered how my purchase of a stamp in my very remote resort would pay for the travel all the way back to the US. It took three months to arrive btw! This was very interesting.

I have absolutely no good explanation for this. The God of Mail would be Hermes (Greek) or Mercury (Latin); however he has winged shoes, i don't know of him ever wielding a winged horse, because why would he, he's super fast and can fly around anywhere as he is. And oh BTW there's i think at least 4 named winged horses in Greek mythology, and dozens more across other cultures, so just because you see a winged horse, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Pegasus. I have googled up things and have seen a Canadian stamp released in commemoration of Universal Postal Union; it had clearly Hermes on it, with his winged shoes, winged hat, winged staff, and not one but TWO winged horses behind him. They must have meant something by that, beats me what though. Them being two, obviously it makes at least one of them and potentially both obviously not Pegasus. Maybe a winged horse was simply cheaper than Hermes to sculpt. After all, a slightly misshapen horse is still very much a horse, but a misshapen human is either very sad or very hilarious. And you know, the whole winged theme.
