I totally understand what you are saying. However, I personally like to take a common sense approach to things. I am not two nine, I'm twenty nine (not really that young). I don't want to change the way I communicate out of tradition if it goes against what is common sense. This is smaller than a small detail, but I have seen it matter. Since we have other things to worry about, why not do what comes naturally and say the number?
I just had a seriously twisted moment and thought about how the different things we are talking about impact quality. ISO 9000 and corrective actions floated through my head. I need a vacation.
