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

[chicago_bastard]

Until right now when I saw this thread it never occured to me that anyone would say six-sixteen.

Six one six.

[Chubistian]

Seiscientos dieciséis

But seriously, I think I'd say six one six if I was to say it in english

[MichaelC]

I've always said(or thought, really) six-one-six, because that sounds more sci-fi, and the concept of dimensions is very sci-fi.

Do people who separate the numbers always do that with addresses? Because I don't. Sometimes, but not when it makes more sense not to.

This reminds me of a question that was asked back when 2001 came out about how people would actually say "2001". Would it be "two thousand (and) one" or "twenty oh one"?

Six One Six.

I say six-one-six. Actually, I say 'the' 616.

Until right now when I saw this thread it never occured to me that anyone would say six-sixteen.

Same.

I talk about the earth designations like they're phone book area codes, I guess? I say "five five five" instead of "five hundred fifty five" or "fifty five five" or whatever. "Nine nine." "Three one three" I'd say the Ultimate universe (1610 right?) as "sixteen ten." But if I were doing math or something it'd be five hundred fifty five, ninety nine, etc. I guess it's different in my head when it's a location.

Say it any way you want as long as its grammatically correct, I specifically say Earth-616 considering that the Marvel Universe is actually a Multiverse composed of an infinite number of realities. Now, how would one pronounce Earth-001?

I say “Eight” because it’s more accurate post Secret Wars

[Odd Rödney]

Six One Six. I have always said it that way.

With me, it varies. Addresses, financials, zip codes, phone number (area codes), whatever, it changes. For clarity's sake, I usually find myself saying the individual numbers in a string, because saying six hundred sixteen has more syllables than 6-1-6 and you'd be surprised how many people get confused when you say the full cardinal number; even more so, if we were talking decimals.

Thats only for labeling the 8th cosmos.

[jwatson]

Six hundred sixteen.

Same. But then everyone i've overheard go six one six or six sixteen. I'm still trying to figure out where the dashes are though but i go with both. I mean technically commas would work to but i don't think they want it to feel like 5 seconds before you get to the last 6.

Oh. Ok. Then I say “Six Sixteen”. No idea where I got that from. Seems like I heard it somewhere but I can’t think of where that would be. Surprised to see I’m in the minority, but on thinking about it, six one six really does make more sense.
