This thread may have already been posted so I apologise in advance for repeating the same question.
How do you pronounce 2011? Two thousand (and) eleven or twenty eleven?
I suppose this is just a matter of preference. Those who find the former a bit of a mouthful will opt for the latter. Others will probably stick to the former as twenty eleven may sound a little weird to them.
My guess is that people will end up pronouncing twenty eleven in the short run for the sake of convenience.
Thanks for any comment or help you can give me.
