The 911 combination IS a national standard for all telephone ESSs
in the United States and is accounted for in all number
combinations used in signalling and dialing in the telephone
infrastructure.
"911" is not.
"9-1-1" is. Please refer to the logo on any emergency vehicle that
promotes the number. This was done for a reason.
Please refer to any telephone key pad. There are no dashes on them.
No, there's not.
Neither is "911"
Acting on recommendations from APCO (Lennie can tell you who THEY are...)
it was encouraged that the national emergency number be depicted as three
discreet numbers, ie: 9-1-1. Please refer to the logo on almost any emergency
vehicle in the United States.
If it would be any easier for you, I can use 9.1.1., but there are no
periods on the phone either.

Why do you insist on inserting superfluous characters in the string?
Probably the same reason why you insisted the FCC keep superfluous
requirements in amateur radio testing.
Do you enjoy being wrong so often?
Has this become a part-time job for you?
Doesn't pay much, does it?
