Oh, gosh...is it aught or ought.? ...Mary ( who hates to have to drag out the dictionary ) I've been using "twenty- oh-five" etc.all along, butcan't say I've influenced many people. Maybe that's because it should be "twenty-aught-five." John |

OT Is this another difference?
Our local NPR station announcer says "twenty-oh-five, so you're not alone!
I even think of it myself that way sometimes. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ... I've been using "twenty- oh-five" etc.all along, butcan't say I've influenced many people. Roberta in D "Julia Altshuler" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I've never heard it before. I hear 3,200 pronounced as thirty-two hundred instead three thousand, two hundred all the time, but when it is that nice round figure, I always hear three thousand. I'm wondering when the switch will take place with the date. We went from 1999 which was pronounced "nineteen ninety nine" to "the year two thousand." Now we're at "two thousand five." But I want it to become "twenty ten" instead of "two thouand ten." --Lia |
