'Three, Three, Five' or 'Three Thirty-Five'?

Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I have been a fan of the 335 family for about forty years. Those three digits - 3,3,5 - have an almost magical quality!
However, I am curious as to how you 335 owners and fans actually refer to your guitars verbally. In the UK we have a tendency to call them 'three three fives' whereas in the US it seems to be 'three thirty-five'. I know this is a pretty pointless exercise, but I would love to read your thoughts. I prefer the 'three three five' option because it sounds to me to be more like a model number, whereas 'three thirty-five' makes me think of the next Greyhound bus leaving Kalamazoo!
