The US emergency telephone number 911 seems to be almost always pronounced as nine one one whereas the Porsche model is typically pronounced as nine eleven One reason I can think of for preferring 'nine one one' for the phone number is that there is no 'eleven' key on a phone. On the other hand, '0800' is often pronounced 'o eight hundred'. Is there a logical or historical reason for the different pronunciations?.
How a car manufacturer names its models is more of a marketing preference than anything, but in general you'll find that the Porche model is the norm. Ask any schoolchild to read aloud the number '911' and you'll get 'nine hundred and eleven', not 'nine one one'. The telephone number 9-1-1 was, as you speculated, spelled out specifically to prevent people - particularly children - from getting confused looking for the 'eleven' key on the telephone. I have heard this anecdotally countless times, but I'm having a hard time finding an authoritative source. Closest I can come are various 'history of 911' websites like this one: Dr. Phil Shaenman, head of the U.S. Fire Administration's research department, authored a paper explaining that children should be taught to dial 'nine-one-one,' and not 'nine-eleven.' He pointed out that a child's conceptual abilities prevent them from recognizing the difference between '11' and '1-1.'

When one buys a house with a fully done basement, is it known as a furnished basement or a finished basement? I've heard both used, but I was always under the impression that the right usage is a furnished basement. I thought, being that the words sound similar, the two terms became confused and eventually interchangeable, but perhaps both are correct. Regardless, any logical, coherent answer to this question would be appreciated!.
Both expressions are used, they just refer to different contexts: Finished basement: a basement that has floors, ceilings, and walls like the rooms in the main part of the house. (M-W) Furnished basement: A basement equipped with furniture so that you can comfortably live in it. From fullhomeliving.com Please compare with a partially finished basement: From Tim Wohforth Blog

What is the difference between oath, pledge & vow and where should each word be used? An example should suffice.

To me, the nouns pledge and vow are closer in meaning, to the point of being synonyms. They mean 'a solemn promise' (this is NOAD's main definition for both). Oath, while close in meaning, typically has an additional sense of invoking the divine (e.g., an oath taken on the bible). A verb with close meaning to all three is to swear. In addition to this meaning of 'solemn promise', each of these three nouns has specific additional meanings. an oath maybe refer to a profanity or a swear word vows maybe have specific meaning of commiting oneself to a given life, e.g. marriage or monastic vows pledge has an additional legal meaning, synonymous to surety, bond or guarantee
