You're the CEO of a polling institution. Run a poll asking "Do you support 'doing 9/11' to the Democratic Party?" you coward.
Would actually love to know how chuds respond to a forced choice question like "Who do you support more, 9/11 or the Democratic Party?"
Both leftists and chuds answering "9/11" might be the final boss of horseshoe theory.
Is everyone in this comment section doing a bit, or did that event make our brains incapable of ever again that sequence of digits as "nine one one" (the phone number)?
I'm genuinely curious, because, I admit, I immediately see "nine eleven" until I read more closely, so I assume others must be making the same error.
Edit: I guess this question should have been directed to @PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net and @spectre@hexbear.net
Until you pointed it out I had kinda forgotten about 911 as the emergency number
Curious, isn't it? I even hear people say "call nine eleven" aloud when speaking about the emergency number. The original pronunciation has been erased.
If I had schizophrenia I would definitely be weaving something about that being the real goal of 9/11 from the start.
I remember people wondering on that day whether the "terrorists" chose the date on purpose.
Don't think that's self-referential enough for schizophrenia, which is actually pretty different from your usual conspiracy-brained nonsense.
(I don't know why I'm commenting on this.)
In my case it's not clicking past the headline, mea culpa
I've just been peeved by comments from Gillibrand and the Republicans earlier this week so I jumped the gun.
The sentence also makes complete sense by both interpretations, because nine-eleven was an emergency.
All nine-elevens are nine-one-ones, but not all nine-one-ones are nine-elevens.
Sure, from your comment I had thought there was some audio making me look like a fool (still didn't click past the headline to check obv)
I didn't see any audio or video in the article. He could very well have said "9/11" and the authors left out the forward slash by mistake or thinking it unnecessary.
Porsche's legendary car model, the Nine Eleven.
I mean, that is how most people say Porsche 911
Is is really that common? I’ve definitely heard both “nine eleven” and “nine one one”, but I thought the latter was still the more commonly accepted way of saying it.
That's my impression and I know a lot of car guys. I suppose it depends on the language of course, but in english, norwegian, swedish definitely "nine eleven"
