View Full Version : 46 & TWO, why in that form?

does anyone have any knowledge as to why in the title, the number 46 is spelled out and 2 is just a number? i am thinking perhaps that when you write out "fourty-six", it is not a blunt implication psychologically of the number 46, not as blunt as writing "46" is...but, i also think it was done this way because it leaves a sort of "separation" between 46 and 2, more so than the "&"...thus, spelling out the number 46 stresses that difference...perhaps it is yet another aspect of the song which is consistent with the whole Bob Frissel theory???

well i did notice that and it did puzzle me, untill i thought back to english class and remembered that long numbers like forty-six are spelled out while numberals 1-9 dont have to be... there could be a reason besides that though.
