five. Yes, it does indeed save on my little handy dandy phonetic training tool. It does save Fife instead of five. And that is because that is the I-Health standard for the numbers. And I'm going to do like a full drone here, I think. Basically it's Fife because in lots of other languages around the world, the V is not pronounced, the way we pronounce it, and the U.S. the sound. So like some places it's a W sound, German it's already a sound. So Fife, you will also notice in Juliet, it's not spelled with Juliet, it's actually well, Juliet is the French diminutive of Julie. So it should have that E at the end of it there. But in the phonetics they removed it because in other countries it's not so known that that E is going to be silent and people would be pronounced as Julie eta, which could lead to confusion in the phonetic alphabet.
