When reading numbers in a sequence, such as a telephone or serial number, British people will usually use the terms double followed by the repeated number. Hence 007 is double oh seven. Exceptions are the emergency telephone number 999, which is always nine nine nine and the apocalyptic "Number of the Beast", which is always six six six.
The double hyphen is used for several different purposes throughout the world: Some typefaces, such as Fraktur faces, use the double hyphen as a glyphic variant of the single hyphen. (With Fraktur faces, such a double hyphen is usually oblique.) It may be also used for artistic or commercial purposes to achieve a distinctive visual effect.
Words in the cardinal category are cardinal numbers, such as the English one, two, three, which name the count of items in a sequence. The multiple category are adverbial numbers, like the English once, twice, thrice, that specify the number of events or instances of
All telephone numbers in Morocco have ten digits (initial 0 plus nine numbers). Landline numbers start with 05, followed by two digits for the regional area RR, then two digits for the local area LL, then 4 digits for the subscriber number XX XX: ("05 RR LL XX XX" or "05RR LL XX XX").
When placed after special sets of numbers, plus and minus signs are used to indicate that only positive numbers and negative numbers are included, respectively. For example, Z + {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} ^{+}} is the set of all positive integers and Z − {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} ^{-}} is the set of all negative integers.
Hyphenate all numbers under 100 that need more than one word. For example, $73 is written as “seventy-three,” and the words for $43.50 are “Forty-three and 50/100.”
The Indian numbering system is somewhat more complex: It groups the rightmost three digits altogether (until the hundreds place) and thereafter groups by sets of two digits.
