Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/562

is 1.23 "one point twenty three" or "one point two three", i.e. to differentiate from 1.2.3 as "one point two point three"?

Yes. Each part would generally be pronounced independently, eg, 1.23.0 is "one point twentythree point oh" and 1.2.3 is "one point two point three" (1.23 is not a valid semver version, so i assume you meant 1.23.0)

yes, although shorthand pronunciation is a separate issue that I'm not particularly fussed about being described in the spec (1.23 could be an alias for 1.23.0 or the entire 1.23.x release set depending on context).

sure, but in either case you'd say "one point twentythree" :-)

Actually, I am pretty sure it should read as "1 dot 23" so as not to confuse it with rational numbers in any respect.
