Might seem like an odd question but hear me out.

For 1404 when saying it out loud pretty much everyone says "fourteen o four/vierzehn null vier" insead of "one thousand four hundred and four"

Same for most others

1602= "sixteen o two/sechzehn null zwei" 1701= "Seventeen o one/siebzehn null eins" 2205= "twenty two o five/zweiundzwanzig null fünf"

And well for 1800 it's just "eighteen hundred/achtzehhundert"

But now for 117 I have already heard all 4 possible variations 1. "Eleven seven/elf sieben" 2. "One one seven/ eins eins sieben" 3. "Onehundretseventeen/einhundertsiebzehn" 4. "One Seventeen/eins siebzehn"

Now it is kinda bugging me that every other Anno has an agreed upon way of saying it for everyone and 117 is just every possible variation

Personally I like Anno one seventeen goes best but what about you guys? And can we please try to agree upon a single way of saying 117 thx^

Just dropping here that if you ask our Brand Director Haye, she will tell you that the correct way would be "one hundred seventeen".

Brand guidelines are generally ignored by everyone bar the brand person. I mean, are the coders or artists calling it that as well?

don't tell that to the Brand team!

And no, we have an internal name, which - especially right now - makes it occasionally tricky to assure we're correctly saying "Anno 117"
