    Imagine dialing 911 and the operator says “Nine Eleven, what’s your emergency?”

        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”

      Love PBS Newshour.

      Also love the effort they put into making sure everyone can access the program.

      Full episodes on YouTube the day of and they also livestream the episodes on YouTube as they air.
