Aibu to ask how you say...

[246oh1]

The name of the band blink-182?
Having only heard it said as blink one eight two I have now discovered it is apparently meant to be said blink one eighty two (apparently an American thing)
Random thread but i'm just curious

Yep, blink one eighty two!

Woah. Life altered.

1-8-2

I've never heard it called anything but blink-one-eighty-two.

I love them!

Oh no it appears I'm outnumbered so far, I hold out hope someone will come and support me with saying it 1-8-2 I feel like my whole life has been a lie!

It's Blink one eighty two.

Is that an American thing? I mean, if you weighed 182 lbs, would you say, "I weigh one eight two lbs?"

Blink 1 8 2

It's not an American thing it's the way I've heard other people say it.

All other numbers I'd read like one hundred and eighty two.

I know it as Blink one eight two also... Are you in Scotland by chance?

1 8 2 for me here in NI, one eighty two annoys me cause if you're gonna say it that way you'd say one hundred and eighty two!

I say 1 8 2

What I find funny is that if I saw whatever182 I'd say one eight two, probs an Americanism!

@spagfullofball nope from the midlands!
And @steff13 maybe it is just me then as i would say one hundred and eighty two lbs rather than one eighty two!

@simplysteve it is the Americans I know that say one eighty two and my english friends and I that say 1-8-2! Language is strange

Cornwall here!

Always said blink one eight two 😂

Don't trust Americans with numbers, they don't even write the date properly 🙈

Before I fall asleep. It's been on Twitter recently as well. Here's a screen if it helps. It doesn't matter which way it's said. ☺️

I've always said 8. Asked Dh (who's American) and he said it's eighty.

Mind blown.

Tom has thrown a spanner in the works

The band members themselves call it blink one, eight, two.
