Q: The US emergency telephone number 911 seems to be almost always pronounced as nine one one whereas the Porsche model is typically pronounced as nine eleven One reason I can think of for preferring 'nine one one' for the phone number is that there is no 'eleven' key on a phone. On the other hand, '0800' is often pronounced 'o eight hundred'. Is there a logical or historical reason for the different pronunciations?.

A: How a car manufacturer names its models is more of a marketing preference than anything, but in general you'll find that the Porche model is the norm. Ask any schoolchild to read aloud the number '911' and you'll get 'nine hundred and eleven', not 'nine one one'. The telephone number 9-1-1 was, as you speculated, spelled out specifically to prevent people - particularly children - from getting confused looking for the 'eleven' key on the telephone. I have heard this anecdotally countless times, but I'm having a hard time finding an authoritative source. Closest I can come are various 'history of 911' websites like this one: Dr. Phil Shaenman, head of the U.S. Fire Administration's research department, authored a paper explaining that children should be taught to dial 'nine-one-one,' and not 'nine-eleven.' He pointed out that a child's conceptual abilities prevent them from recognizing the difference between '11' and '1-1.'

Q: Sometimes people are referring to mechanical objects as 'she': I love my car. She always gets the best service. Are there any rules when it is appropriate to use 'she' instead of it, and is 'he' ever used in such context?.

A: The pronoun 'she' is sometimes used to refer to things which can contain people such as countries, ships, or vehicles, or when referring to certain other machines. This, however, is considered a stylistically marked, optional figure of speech. This usage is furthermore in decline and advised against by most journalistic style guides such as the Chicago Manual of Style.[9] If used, the terms she, her, and hers are always used, regardless of the entity's name - for example, 'The U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CVA-67) was laid down October 22, 1964. She was launched on April 1, 1967...' 'He' in reference to an inanimate object has not, as far as I'm aware, ever been common usage in English.

Q: I have recently heard in a Tv show that some guy said: He is stable-ish for now! What does this term mean exactly? couldn't find anything, what's the occasion to use? can we use the -ish suffix for any adjective?.

A:
-ish 1) A suffix that makes any word or phrase more vague. 2) It can be used with any word and it's applied at the end to make the word into meaning 'kind of'. For eg. me = 'how are you feeling today?' you = 'i am feeling okay-ish' More 3) A suffix used to guesstimate a number or time. When referring to time '-ish' means within plus or minus 15 minutes. When referring to a number '-ish' means within 5. For eg. Guy1: What time is the party? Guy2: 7:30-ish Other definition: 4) suffix. used to describe an approximation, or likeness of the subject. (can be used alone as an adjective) So, here the meaning of the stable-ish to he is okay-okay or not good not bad.. Update reference by the request of @trevorD The term = ish
