In a message dated 97-11-05 02:29:28 EST, you write:
<< My view is that "mark (in coordinates)" is a separator, and the section
numbering in the dictionary can be considered as coordinates. {DoD} is
arguably appropriate here; I hope everyone can accept the argument as a
valid one, even if they disagree with it. A decimal point indicates the
boundary between integer and fraction parts in a digital representation
of numbers, and while the section labels do follow a numerical sequence,
they aren't really numbers. And there is *never* more than one decimal
point in a number.
I've got no problems pronouncing an IP address like 128.0.0.1 as
{wa' cha' chorgh DoD pagh DoD pagh DoD wa'}. Most people pronounce this
use of "." with the word "dot", not "point".
