How should I pronounce 24/7? I've no idea.
Thanks in advance.
 
This isn't a date. It's an expression "24/7" meaning "all the time." Seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
 
I thought it was "twenty-four over seven".:oops:
 
It is twenty-four over seven in the right context.
It's also twenty-four seven; twenty-four divided by seven; twenty-four sevenths; and probably a few other things related to various specialties.

The only context in which it is pronounced "twenty-four seven" is when it means "24 hours a day/ 7 days a week". For example a shop that is open 24/7 never closes.
