Pronunciation

Among experts and the general public, there is a debate as to how specific years of the 21st century should be pronounced in English. English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States Although the majority of English-speakers say "two thousand (and) X" for any specific year post–1999, it is often suggested that the continuation of this type of pronunciation for the entire 21st century would be inappropriate or unnatural, given the alternative "twenty X" option. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar)

Academics suggest that since former years such as 1808 and 1908 were commonly pronounced as "eighteen oh" or "nineteen oh" eight, the year 2008 should naturally be pronounced as "twenty oh-eight". Year 1808 ( MDCCCVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year Year 1908 ( MCMVIII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year 2008 ( MMVIII) is the current year in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, a Leap year that started on Tuesday of the Common [1] Many experts agree that majority usage of "two thousand (and) X" is a result of influences from the Y2K hype, as well as the way "2001" was pronounced in the influential 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the millennium bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a notable Computer bug resulting Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Year 1968 ( MCMLXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. 2001 A Space Odyssey is a science-fiction story produced in 1968 as both a film (directed by Stanley Kubrick) and a novel (written by Arthur C

Some linguistic and academic experts have predicted that the "twenty X" pronunciation method will eventually prevail, but a time frame as to when this change will occur often differs. The year 2010 is suggested by many while 2011[1] and 2013 are popular as well. For the film see 2010 The Year We Make Contact. For the book see 2010 Odyssey Two. 2011 ( MMXI) will be a Common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. 2013 ( MMXIII) will be a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. The latest time frames for change are usually placed at 2020[1] or 2101. 2020 ( MMXX) will be a Leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar.

According to a recent press release, David Crystal, author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, has predicted that the change of pronunciation to "twenty X" will occur in 2011, as "twenty eleven", explaining that the way people pronounce years depends on rhythm, rather than logic. 2011 ( MMXI) will be a Common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός - rhythmos, "any measured flow or movement symmetry" is the variation of the length and accentuation of Logic is the study of the principles of valid demonstration and Inference. Crystal claims that the rhythm or "flow" of "two thousand (and) ten", beats that of "twenty ten", but the flow of "twenty eleven" beats "two thousand (and) eleven". [1] Alternatively, Ian Brookes, editor-in-chief of Chambers Dictionary, suggests the change will occur in 2013. 2013 ( MMXIII) will be a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. And finally, the UK Times has suggested 2020 as a final time frame for the change, saying "If people can have “twenty-twenty” vision, then surely they should also live in the year “twenty twenty”. The Times is a daily national Newspaper published in the United Kingdom since 1785 when it was known as The Daily Universal Register. 2020 ( MMXX) will be a Leap year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. [1]

In addition, the Vancouver Olympics, taking place in 2010, are being officially referred to by Vancouver 2010 as "the twenty-ten Olympics". The London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 has restricted the commercial use of the terms "Two Thousand and Twelve" and "Twenty Twelve", to protect the London 2012 Olympics. The London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 is a piece of UK Legislation introduced following the decision of the International Olympic Committee [2] Chicago 2016, which operates the official Chicago bid for the 2016 games, refers to the "twenty-sixteen games".

Some suggest that after the "twenty X" pronunciation for current and future 21st century years has taken hold, future references to early 21st century years will change accordingly from the previous "two thousand (and) X" method; thus, they say, future generations will refer to the date of the 9/11 attacks in the United States as September 11, "twenty oh-one.
