I never understood how and why no refers to "number" (it is "Nummer" in German and abreviated as "Nr.", and "no" doesn't match the English "number", at best the Italian "numero", but conflicts with the English negation)
Good to see this fixed!

FWIW, it's one of those quirks of the English language that "no." is the standard abbreviation for "number" for no obvious reason (similar story for "Mrs." and a handful of others). But indeed, not at all appropriate to have used here.
