A favor to ask
posted by McFrozen on January 18, 2002
If we're ever having a face-to-face discussion about the attack on the World Trade Center, please don't refer to it as "nine-eleven" or "nine-one-one". "September eleventh" will be perfectly understandable. "Nine-eleven" sounds like some sort of police code or boy band, and we don't really need to discuss "nine-one-one".
Thanks.
