I pretty much always have reactions like that to when people get the subway details wrong.
Also, to elaborate on what you said, Jay, not only were the letter and number lines different companies’ lines originally, the two aren’t compatible, they’re different gauges. So trains on the 1/2/3 or 4/5/6 or 7 can’t go on the letter lines and vice versa.
(And yes, Jay is right–while the numbers and letters have colors, nobody calls them by the colors. It’s the number or letter, or if you’re old school, the line, like how the 4/5/6 is the Lexington Avenue Line, 1/2/3 is 7th, N/Q/R/W is Broadway, B/D/F/M is 6th…at least in Manhattan.)
