Do you say "add 2 and 3" or "2 add 3"?

I admire prefix notation but that's a poor example. Most people say "2 plus 3" and the prefix version is really wacky: "plus 2 3".

They say "2 plus 3" when they read out loud the standard mathematical infix notation for that expression but that's not what they do.
