People should also adopt the "five" vs "niner" idiom from aviation to disambiguate those two numbers.
Fun fact, the donkey that was the model for Donkey in Shrek was named Niner, and lived in Palo Alto.
- OJFord 6y ago> People should also adopt the "five" [sic] vs [sic] "niner" idiom I assume you mean 'fife' and? Also not just from aviation, general (military) radio, and other uses of the NATO phonetic alphabet. It used to be fi-ive (rhyming 'I seive') but changed, I believe/as I recall, due to sounding too close to 'fire'.
