Coding the year

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Kimberly,

In CHAT, all dates and numbers should be coded as they are spoken with each word as a separate word, as in 
“two thousand twelve”  or “nine hundred ninety nine and a half”  

Doing this provides a clear input to counts such as MLU and facilitates analysis through MOR.  It also properly represents the spoken form.
