I think I haven't been clear enough in my screed - their child didn't get this from an elected official - it is the education system that has done this - he is 7 years old.
It is amazing how even small changes to the curriculum have a big effect. In the Middle East it is the norm to use education to cement the idea of countries created by western powers (principally us & the French) along arbitrary lines as being legitimate & having an identity. As Jordanians, the in-laws would have seen this as normal.

The internets tell me:
The primary function of a central bank is to manage the nation's money supply (monetary policy), through active duties such as managing interest rates, setting the reserve requirement, and acting as a lender of last resort to the banking sector during times of bank insolvency or financial crisis. That doesn't sound like something I should know before voting.

I don't think it's a good idea for 16 year olds to vote as a matter of course.
I think it is a very good thing for 16 year olds to be able to vote in a referendum on the future of their country, and it must be really galling that 16-55 year olds voted with quite a convincing margin for independence, only to be denied the future they wanted by old people who have a pretty short future.
There's no guarantee that 16 and 17 year olds would vote for the SNP in a general election.

I told them I didn't like it, so they cancelled and built what I told them.
They were going to call it Windows MW, but I told them to stuff that idea.

So we know who to direct all the future "Why Windows 10 sucks today threads" at now.

Only if they do what they said they'd do.

I think I understand your problem, you mistakenly assumed that Microsoft are using base 10, rather than the base 9 it is using
10 in base 9 = 9 in base 10

I tell my kids that this sign[^]means "Caution - Umbrellas can suddenly get very heavy in this area".
Made me wonder if there was anything silly like this that you tell your kids, or were told yourself as a kid?
