What?” I may have heard that a few times in my life, but, as far as I can recall, not since I’ve been in school. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … P.S. How do you think we pronounce a hyphen? Since you’re talking about pronunciation, why don’t you just say, “In American English, 135 is pronounced one hundred thirty five.” (without the hyphens)? | |
