How do you pronounce 1701?

[TheGoodStuff]

One Seven Oh One.

This

Seventeen oh one, bitches.

No, seriously. I always include "bitches" at the end. Which gets confusing when it comes to the other Treks, for sure. "Seventeen oh one, bitches, D."

I would love to see you as a diplomat in Trek.

Picard: Now, Captain Wormhole, this is a delicate matter which requires a gentle hand..

Wormhole: I completely understand sir.

*Alien dignitaries beam aboard*

Alien: Hello, with whom do we speak?

Wormhole: Ambassador Wormhole of the U.S.S Enterprise, NCC SEVENTEEN OH ONE....BITCHES!

*Picard face-palm*

Alien: ...Indeed.

 

[Ethros]

One, seventy, one.

If someone said that to me, I'd write it down as 171...

 

[Elder Knight]

Maybe they said seventeen-ought-one or seventeen-nought-one.

 

[The Wormhole]

So what about the other registries? How do all of you pronounce those. I'll list the registries with my pronunciation in brackets.
NX-74205 (N, X, seven, four, two, zero, five)
NCC-74656 (N, C, C, seven, four, six, five, six)
NX-01 (N, X, oh, one)
NCC-0514 (N, C, C, five, one, four) I don't recognize or acknowledge leading zeroes. Except for times that I do, like above just now.

 

[lizlovestrek]

Seventeen Oh One

 

[Hippocrates Noah]

I'm not sure I've ever pronounced it out loud, but in my head it's always Seventeen-Oh-One.

 

[John Cooley]

One-Seven--Oh-One

 

[CitadelZombies]

Seventeen Oh One.
Although I do sometimes say One Seven Zero One.

 

[2takesfrakes]

Seventeen Oh One.

 

[JesterFace]

one seven o one

 

[Timo]

Anticlockwise or Counterclockwise?

Widdershins.

And "one seven oh one" if it's just a string of running numbers, but "seventeen oh one" if Starfleet really believes it's the seventeenth starship design, first/second production unit...

[Green Shirt]

seventeen hundred + one

 

[C.E. Evans]

As a kid, I called it "seventeen-oh-one," but I think for the last twenty-five years or so, I've called it "one-seven-zero-one."

 

[MacLeod]

You could of course have

One Seven Nought One.

But I would tend to go with On Seven Oh One.

But if you telephone number has zero in it and you are telling someone it to you say Zero, Nought or oh?

What about reading a license plate on a car with a zero in it?


Is it One Thouand Sixteen Hundred or Sixteen Hundred? The later of course is a time.

 

[TheSubCommander]

seventeen oh one

 

[Commander Richard]

One Seven Oh One.

The same.

 

[scotpens]

Another "one seven oh one" here. Why is that not even in the poll?

Same here. "One-seven-oh-one" is how I've always said it.

It may be spelled 1-7-0-1, but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.

You're wrong. It's actually pronounced Chumley.

What about reading a license plate on a car with a zero in it?

When giving a license plate number, I always say zero as "zero" to avoid confusion with the letter O.

 

[MarsWeeps]

And I always think it would have been funny if the computer had made Scotty specify the year in that scene, seen as the 1701 had plenty of bridge redresses and overhauls in its time

True, in fact we've never seen the bridge as displayed in the holodeck. Close but no cigar.

 

[Shawnster]

Either one seven oh one or seventeen oh one. No rhyme or reason. Kinda like saying this is twenty-six teen or two-thousand sixteen. Either way.

Sometimes I even say one seven zero one.

Never ever one thousand or seventeen hundred anythng.

It's also probably a difference between British and American English. In spite of the fact that I write American online, I first learned BE and some things stick. Brits tend to use zero only in scientific writing, in informal conversations they say nought or oh. Nought is pretty much unheard of in American English.

That said, in alphanumeric strings I guess it would be better to say zero to avoid confusion, as in:
1701-C (seventeen zero one dash C) (alpha, beta and delta would work, but the third letter of the greek alphabet is gamma, which would sound funny for a C).

Interesting, that with seventeen it feels natural to say zero, but not with one-seven. Language is weird!

 

[JesterFace]

It's also probably a difference between British and American English.

In Finland it's "yks seittämä nolla yks".

 

[somebuddyX]

One-Seven-Oh-One.
And yet Yamato is Thirteen-Oh-Five-E and Excelsior is Two Thousand.
