    Help! Does anyone know if there is and standard that concerns itself with the correct way to pronounce decimal fractions. For example,

    23,67

    Is this read as ‘Twenty six point sixty seven’ or ‘Twenty six point six seven’.

    I recall reading a SI document many years ago detailing quite precisely that after the decimal point each character should be read out separately. Is this still the case? Can anyone help please?
