        I’ve noticed it being written like 9/11 instead of 911 a lot lately. Is this how it’s supposed to be or what has happened that’s making people add the slash now…

          The emergency phone number has always been written as 911. I have no idea why people are writing a phone number as a date suddenly.

          No, these are people who are either incredibly dumb or have somehow never seen anyone write “911” down but have heard somone joking about “dialing nine eleven”
