What's Group 111? Did you mean Group III? Group 111 is about 22.2 times better than Group 5.

Group one hundred-eleven is that a WUBASE product?
group 3 or group III would be the correct terms.

I is the ninth letter of the alphabet,1 is a numeral and represents a single unit. Which is better,"ie","ie","ie",or one,one,one? I agree that,by convention,"ie","ie","ie",has been adopted by this board,so no more bucking the trend. "ie","ie","ie",it is,or rather III.

Have you heard of Roman numerals? III = three 111 = one hundred and eleven

I agree that,by convention,"ie","ie","ie",has been adopted by this board,so no more bucking the trend. "ie","ie","ie",it is,or rather III. If 111 could mean three, we would have quite a hard time counting big numbers, wouldn't you say? 111 means one-hundred and eleven, not three. In the same way, 11 means eleven, not two. As for III meaning three, this isn't a BITOG convention. As QuattroPete pointed out, it's the Roman numeral for three. That representation predates BITOG by quite a long time.
