Default How do you say it?
Ok I've gotten into a couple arguments over this. Is it "nine two eight", or "nine twenty eight"?

I knew that there was another thread on this but didn't remember where/when.

Thanks Dan.

I use both, interchangeably. "Nine-twenty-eight" mostly.

"Nine-twenty-eight".
I don't say "Nine-one-one" nor "Nine-four-four", so why "Nine-Two-Eight"?

Do you also say nine ninety three or nine ninety six?

Jeremy Clarkson says nine two eight and we all know his word is gospel. 😂

The germans say neun-zwo-acht. I have not heard neun achtundwantzig yet.

Perhaps we can start a thread with porsche carparts un german.
How about: hinterachsequerrohr. It's a 911 part I once put in my 71 911

I've actually heard neun achtundzwanzig many times in Porsche ads, German videos, etc.

I say nine twenty-eight.

That's an odd thing to get into an argument about.

Then again, I dont care when people say "Porch" either.
