The number 40 is unique in that when written out in letters (forty) it is the only number in which the letters appear in alphabetical order.

Would saying integer rather than number help?

When the temperature is -40 degrees, there's no need to specify whether you're using Fahrenheit or Celsius - it's the same.

The square root of -1 is called i (for "imaginary number").

George Lucas' tinkering with re-releases of the Star Wars movies is not something that just started happening with the "special" editions.
Star Wars initial 1977 released was in Dolby Stereo. A mono mix was released mere weeks later for exhibition in cinemas with no Dolby Stereo support. This mono version contains over 2 dozen changes to the audio including not only changes to sound effects but also changed dialog (for stormtroopers, 3PO and other "no lip movement" character and complete re-dubbing of some actors with a new voice. |

David Prowse (the man in the Vader suit) spoke the lines for Darth Vader on set. During filming Peter Cushing found the boots that his character was supposed to wear painful for his feet so he asked if he could do his scenes wearing carpet slippers instead. So in all the scenes where Mr. Cushing was on screen he's wearing slippers since they never have him in far shots that would show that he wasn't wearing boots.

In the Mel Brooks movie "Silent Movie" there is only one spoken word of dialog heard in the entire movie.
