Tahukah Anda kalau cara membaca nomor telepon American English (AmE) dan British English (BrE) memiliki perbedaan?
Berikut ini bedanya:
Pada AmE, pembacaan nomor telepon dilakukan secara terpisah-pisah seperti "6674" dibaca "Six Six seven four", sedangkan pada BrE dibaca "Double six seven four". Selain itu pada BrE angka "0 (nol)" dibaca "/ow/".
Contoh lainnya:
- 307-4922 (three o seven - four nine two two [BrE:double two])
- 52816 (five two eight one six)
- 1072 (one o seven two [terkadang dibaca: ten seventy-two])
- 999 (nine nine nine)
- 0386 (o three eight six)
- 0096 (o o nine six [BrE: double o nine six])
- 5000 (five o double o [terkadang dibaca: five thousand])
- 6638 (double six three eight)
- 3668 (three six six eight [atau three double six eight])
- 677 (six double seven)
- 667 (six six seven [ atau double six seven])
- 01-629-8495 (o one - six two nine - eight four nine five)
