The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense: alt spelling of 9/11. COCA mostly has 9-11, not this spelling. Is this spelling in widespread use? It is so easily confused in the US with the emergency-call phone number, that I can't imagine any one using this spelling except by mistake. DCDuring TALK 18:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

911, not 9-1-1

edit

Wikipedia has their article at 9-1-1 as a mistaken "natural disambiguation" to keep the title shorter. That in no way means it's the correct form of the name: 911 is orders of magnitude more common. — LlywelynII 19:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
