- 3poundkilograms 10y agoI think he meant that it was not supposed to be "Mac Oh Es Ten Ten Nine Two", but rather "Mac Oh Es Ten Nine Two" when referring to Mac OS X 10.9.2. Do you think people said "Mac Oh Es Nine Nine One", or "Mac Oh Es Nine One" for Mac OS 9.1?
- hunter2_ 10y agoI think you write (and say as /ten/) "X" as the major version if you're also using the non-numeric minor version: "Mac OS X Snow Leopard"; but you omit it when using the numeric minor version so as to also use the Arabic major version: "Mac OS 10.6". You say /ten/ either way and never twice.
- 3poundkilograms 10y agoPeople seem to quite commonly write "Mac OS X 10.6", which duplicates the 10. News articles and Wikipedia included. I don't remember what the machines themselves reported, though. I don't have anything pre-Sierra anymore.
