1 The numeral een is written één in contexts where it could be interpreted as the indefinite
article or simply to emphasize that it means ‘one’ and not ‘a/an’:
Ik heb maar één broertje en dat is meer dan genoeg.
I have only one younger brother and that is more than enough.

See 2.3.1, footnote 4.
2 When pronouncing numbers deliberately as in giving telephone numbers, all derivatives
of the word zeven are commonly pronounced zeuven, zeuventien, zeuventig etc. to avoid
confusion with negen. In The Netherlands, as in so many European countries, a seven
is usually handwritten with a cross stroke, but is not printed that way, i.e. 7. This is
to avoid possible confusion with 1, which is often written with a longer tail at the top
than in English-speaking countries, but not as long as in Germany. These days a figure
7 with a cross stroke through it is not uncommon in English-speaking countries any
more either.
