616-- Do you say Six-One-Six or Six-Sixteen?

[KurtW95]

Because I have always said Six-Sixteen in my head, reading Marvel comics. And was surprised at how so many people say Six-One-Six. I do think people say Sixteen-Ten when referring to Ultimate, which I guess makes sense because it's fewer syllables. But how many other people say or think Six-Sixteen? Answer the poll and post about your answer.

Have we heard any official source say it? Must've at some point, right? I say Six One Six, anyway.

I'm sure there are people saying it different places. And maybe different ways too. The only one I found easily was Ryan Penagos say Six-One-Six. I just sent David Thorpe an email, asking what he says, as he is the one who assigned the number. No idea if I'll hear back though.

[D.Z]

What about 6 hundred and 16 and 61, 6.

Six one six

[charliehustle415]

six-sixteen for me, because I tend to say all three digit numbers like that e.g. 101 = one -O-one, 999 = nine - ninety-nine

[JudicatorPrime]

6...1...6.

[shooshoomanjoe]

Six sixteen but usually I said the MU or marvel universe.

Mr. Thorpe responded and said he always thought of it with the numbers separately as Six-One-Six and Six-Sixteen never occurred to him but thought it was a good question. He also said that he wrote a book on how 616 happened that we can preorder on his website.
