    In the North America Dialing Plan, 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx is the full number. From land-line phones, you have to add the “1”. Cell phone carriers add the “1” (the country code) and just assume you want to talk within the US/Canada. Under the NADP digits after the 11th (including the assumed “1”) are dropped, so the extra digit on these billboards is valid, just a gross mis-statement.

    I get rage-angry when I see the ones that show the old (outdated) evolutionary model from primate to Hominid with the text “evolution=lie”. They’re all over where I live. Bastards.
