2112 !?

I never really though of this until today... because my dad's pal came over. We started talking about music, then Rush, then I brought up "2112". I told him how I really liked "Two One One Two", and he said "What the hell is Two One One Two?". I didn't know what to say, because he is the guy who introduced me to Rush... after a couple seconds he blurted "Oh! You must mean Twenty One Twelve!"

How do you pronounce this album's name? (even though I'm guessing Twenty One Twelve is the correct way). I went through years of ignorant bliss, calling it Two One One Two.

It's "Twenty One Twelve".

And it's awesome.

Douămii o sută doisprezece. 

Two Thousand One Hundred and Twelve 

Yeah, I say it Twenty One Twelve though.

I believe it's generally pronounced twenty-one-twelve. Named after Neil Peart's locker in high school, IIRC. My friend went to the same school (thirty-some years later) and says that it kept getting stolen. The locker, I mean.

f ya

Because of the way the logo is designed I used to think 7 Up was Zup.

In English it's most fluent as twenty one twelve, but usually for me it's kaks yks yks kaks.

^Nah, Finnish, that's much weirder

Sounds fun learning Finnish
That's very Klingonish if I do say so myself, mainly because of the mass of K's!
