point, dot, period...
When 13.12 is a decimal, it is read as thirteen point one two.
If it refers to Chapter 13, Section 12, how should I read it? Should it be read as
1. thirteen point twelve,
2. thirteen dot twelve,
3. thirteen point one two,
or anything else?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

I don't really have much chance to speak a book section like 13.12, but I suppose that my inner voice says 'thirteen, (pause), twelve'; if challenged, I would say 'chapter thirteen point twelve'. All in all, Pieanne's is the wisest path.
