      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…

        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”

        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.
