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

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…

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.

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”

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)

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

In this case they WERE referring to the phone number.
