Does *anyone* call an elise 111s a 'one-one-one-ess'? Geninue question! Same reason I call that a 'one - eleven' and the 911 a 'nine-eleven'.

I say one one one R.

Yet 911 is nine eleven
355 is three fifty five

I wasnt saying I was right just the way I say it. I know what the 355 means though.

Nine eleven, but for others I say nine two eight, nine one seven, nine five six, nine four four.

wierd.

Moley · 4 Oct 2009 at 20:04

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be pronounced "Neun Eins Eins"....

If talking about the car its nine eleven.
If you are talking about the terrorist attack its eleven nine.
If just the number its nine hundred and eleven.

9 eleven

deko · 4 Oct 2009 at 21:53

9 eleven, obviously. the one that really gets on my nerves is Nike. its Nike, not Nikey.

Matt82 · 4 Oct 2009 at 21:59

nine one one for me haha

Wicksta · 4 Oct 2009 at 22:02

The Porsch-ah thing always makes me laugh, why do people pronounce it that way? We don't say Mert-ze-des, Fow Vee or Bee Em Vee do we?

bobert50 · 4 Oct 2009 at 22:05

9 eleven too.

Jamous · 4 Oct 2009 at 23:37

9 Eleven, as before I think it is because it is quicker to say then 9 one one.
Interesting if you think of the Ferrari models though:

F40
F50
550
360
430

Or:

355
612
599
575

I think that's do do with ending in "0"

Err, Nine Eleven. It's even pronounced like that in the German (Neunelfer)

Why it is ever discussed to the contrary is beyond me and indeed, the internet.
