-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If I may add one more opinion to the mix, I personally like Steve's preference myself, pronounce the numbers as whole words, the way the doubletalk and the bns do. So, for example, 1234567 would be spoken as one-million two-hundred-thirty-four-thousand five-hundred-sixty-seven, without the dashes of course, which I only put in for clarity.
