There are cases where monzo notation translates simple-to-read ratios into hard-to-read expressions, see for example [[19/16]]. Eliora now introduced a notation that I was thinking about for years: {{monzo|-4 0<sup>6</sup> 1}} instead of {{monzo|-4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1}}. What do others think about it? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:50, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I don’t seem to find anywhere how is Joe Monzo’s last name, and monzo the term, are pronounced: with the usual z or with z like in pizza, or in other manner?.. It would certainly aid in translating the term to another language. :) --Arseniiv (talk) 19:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

I found Now&Xen Podcast: 038 - Joe Monzo - YouTube - just listening - at some point the correct pronunciation of the name must appear in the video 😉 --Xenwolf (talk) 19:43, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Oh, thanks! BTW I was planning to listen to the whole series some time but I guess starting with one concrete episode would be a concrete motivation to do that. --Arseniiv (talk) 20:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
So it seems my worries were for nothing: z is a usual fricative [z] here! At 3:22 is “Joe Monzo” and at 1:12:13 is “so he called it a monzo”. --Arseniiv (talk) 15:49, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Coping with large amounts of zeros

There are cases where monzo notation translates simple-to-read ratios into hard-to-read expressions, see for example 19/16. Eliora now introduced a notation that I was thinking about for years: [-4 06 1 instead of [-4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1. What do others think about it? --Xenwolf (talk) 21:50, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
