Heres a question. 1-800 numbers that involve letters for numbers, would the be considered 1 entire word? or should it be broken down?
Examples:
1-800-Bite-Me
1-800-Get-Coke
1-800-Call-Bob
1 word or a couple different words??? |

| A whole bunch of words. Otherwise you could cheat and write a review like 'Farrell's Phone Booth: 1-800-Predictable-Movie-Stinks'. |

My 'umble opinion
one, two or three depending which way way you look at it i.e.
Eighteen Hundred
or
One Eight Hundred
but as a number
1-800 two words
1800 one word
or whatever Benj says |

I'm going with the 1-800 being considered two words, and that means you can add any other two words with a dash afterwards.

I'd like to say I don't think these types of 'reviews' should be allowed at all but, personal feelings on it aside, there's no justifiable reason why not.
I can guarantee this much, though: 1. the 'joke' will run and run, and (b). consequently, it'll get very tiresome very quickly. It's a formula and as such gives people an excuse to churn out no-brainer reviews. Anyone out there writing a stack of these, I may not be declining them, but I won't be wishing you kind thoughts either
Back to the original question, I'd say each complete number (separated by a hyphen or space) counts as a word, so 1-800-234-234 would be four 'words'. |
