Can I say $178 as one seventeen-eight dollars vocally? If I can, How do you tell the difference between $178 and $1.78 if someone said just one seventeen-eight dollars without any clue? And I have another similar question. If someone says vocally "the babies' diaper", can you tell the difference between "the babies' diaper" and" the baby's diaper"? I suppose they have the same pronunciations.
