Talk:Porter-class destroyer

Bit of a nit, but ...
This is not worth getting into an edit war over, and maybe not worth spending much time discussing; but: "an 1,850-ton destroyer" versus "a 1,850-ton destroyer"? When I read it aloud, I read it as "an eighteen hundred fifty ton destroyer", or even "an eighteen fifty ton destroyer" not "a one thousand eight hundred fifty ton" destroyer. The phrase is intrinsically awkward and unfortunate, but it's nonetheless such common usage that I'm afraid the question is not easily avoided.

Googling doesn't help much. Both forms are widely used. --Yaush (talk) 20:46, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
