Pronunciation of blaster numbers

[martianshark]

I hope I don't get in trouble for bumping up a very old topic, but this looks so interesting, that I have to post.

XP 215: ex-pee-two-fifteen

CPS 1500: see-pee-es-one-thousand-five-hundred

XP 220: ex-pee-two-twenty

I pronounce CPSs number-hundred, except for the ones that are multiples of 1 thousand.
CPS 1500
fifteen-hundred

SS, XP, CPS - pronounce each letter individually, though I'll often omit it if it's obvious from the context.

Numbers:

#000 - "# thousand" or "# kay"
##00 - "## hundred"
#00 - "# hundred"
#10 - "# ten" or "# one oh"
#20 - "# twenty"
etc
#*$ - "# * $" (ie each digit said separately)
EDIT: ## - "##" (ie I just say the 2 digit number as it is)
Nozzle ratings:
#x - "# times"

Now that I looked at it, I pronounce just about everything like Gold Hawk.

Now that I think about it, I pronounce everything like this:

On numbers with two digits, I just say the whole number.
Example: Super Soaker 50: Sue-per-soak-er fif-tee

On numbers with three digits, I say the first digit seperately and then I say the last two digits together.
Example: XP 310: Ex-pee-three-ten

On numbers with four digits, I just say the whole thing.
Examples: CPS 2000: See-pee-es too-thous-and; CPS 4100 See-pee-es for-thousand-wun-hundred

I can out soak you using my ex-pea three-hundred-and-ten even if you are wielding a see-pea-ess twenty-hundred!

No, I don't pronounce blaster names like this, but it'd be amusing to do so from time to time.

One thing I'd like to poke in here with (that may have been discussed in the past): Do you pronounce Larami as "lair-ah-me" or "la-rah-me"... In the commercials it's pronounced as the former while I tended to pronounce it the latter.

As for numbers I pronounce them as short as possible. For the thousands I'd say "twenty-five-hundred" or "forty-one-hundred", and "one-ten", "two-fifteen", etc. for hundreds.

I pronounce it la-rah-me, but each to their own. Also, would you pronounce it ex-pee nine-ty or ex-pee nine-dy?

[martianshark]

I pronounce it la-rah-me too, even though you're supposed to pronounce it lair-ah-me.

[C-A_99]

I pronounce it la-rah-me, but each to their own. Also, would you pronounce it ex-pee nine-ty or ex-pee nine-dy?
-Zeda

Saying "ex-pee nine-dy" is like saying "inner-net" instead of "internet".
