Haha thank you I couldn't figure out what 9/11 had to do with all this

[-] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

I've noticed it being written like 9/11 instead of 911 a lot lately. Is this how it's supposed to be or what has happened that's making people add the slash now..

[-] deur@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

No, these are people who are either incredibly dumb or have somehow never seen anyone write "911" down but have heard somone joking about "dialing nine eleven"

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

The emergency phone number has always been written as 911. I have no idea why people are writing a phone number as a date suddenly.

[-] 520@kbin.social -1 points 6 months ago

It has always been 9/11 because it is a date. Some people use 911, but this can be confused for the emergency services phone number (also 911)

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

In this case they WERE referring to the phone number.

[-] 520@kbin.social 0 points 6 months ago

Well...yeah, it's what they meant, but how many phone numbers do you know of that have forward slashes?

Might be an autocorrect thing though depending on the phone

[-] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You know, that's a really good point! It probably has something to do with autocorrect.

[-] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

That's the thing. I'm pretty sure OP meant 911, not 9/11.

[-] 520@kbin.social 0 points 6 months ago

In the original post? Yeah, they meant 911 (the phone number)
