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. -------------  |

I'm sorry, but that's pretty damn awesome.  (And funny and ridiculous all at the same time) ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

| 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. |

I knew I was wrong as soon as I heard it the "proper way". I had that strange "man I'm dumb" feeling in the pit of my gut. Thanks guys!  ------------- |

That's okay. A lot of the time there are a ton of guys with foreign names that I don't know how to pronounce, and I'm shocked to see an interview of them and their names are pronounced completely different from what I thought (Thomas Haake)
More importantly, how do you pronounce that Ayreon album's name? -------------

In English it's most fluent as twenty one twelve, but usually for me it's kaks yks yks kaks. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

Are you Klingon by any chance good sir? I'd say it's pronounced 2112 to be honest... Not that hard, jeez... -------------

^Nah, Finnish, that's much weirder Actually it's written and pronounced kaksi yksi yksi kaksi, but I can't bother saying those last letters, so in reality when I say that out loud it's pretty close to kaksyksykskakkonen. Easy enough? ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

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

dva je'an je'an dva. I never thought of pronouncing it in English. However, it applies only of album/song titles, the band's names are always pronounced (approximaltely) in their native language, even if containing numerals. No-one in my country will say "oo dva" instead of "yoo two". However, over here everyone pronounces Led Zeppelin as Led Tseppelin. Which makes sense since Zeppelin is a German name, right? |

Reminds me of when digital watches first appeared.
I always had the urge to answer something like for instance 'one thousand three hundred and twenty-four' when soneone asked me for the time.
