Button down shirts bottom button slit horizontal

Most of the button down shirts I have have, for the last button down at the bottom, a horizontal slit, while all the other buttons have vertical slits. Why is that bottom button slit horizontal? 75.75.42.89 (talk) 11:55, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

:Because it allows the button to take more stress from pulling and movement without stretching out the shirt or the hole itself. --Viennese Waltz 11:59, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

::Yep, there is often also a different color and stronger thread used there. This site also agrees with us [http://www.valetmag.com/ask-valet/style/2011/sideways-buttonhole-021711.php]. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:04, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

MK 46 - 30mm Gun Weapon System

Does Wikipedia have an article on the MK 46 - 30mm Gun Weapon System? [http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=2100&tid=525&ct=2 Here] is the US Navy Fact File entry, thanks a frown emits — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.213.241.246 (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

:See Mk44 Bushmaster II for our article on the gun. We don't seem to have an article on the weapon system as a whole. Tevildo (talk) 19:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

::Thank you Tevildo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.213.241.246 (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

:What does "thanks a frown emits" mean? Sounds like something Google-translated through several languages. Edison (talk) 00:09, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

::The IP is registered to Trinidad and Tobago, not a place where little-known languages are common, so you'd think one translation would be the maximum necessary. Nyttend (talk) 20:00, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
