This year will also be the 100th of the Republic Of China Era year(民國100年). PRONUNCIATION See also: Year Pronunciation Among experts and the general public, there is a debate as to how specific years of the 21st century, including 2011, should be pronounced in English . 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. Many experts agree that majority usage of "two thousand (and) X" is a result of influences from the Many people, ranging from are popular as well. The latest timeframe for change is usually placed at 2020 or 2100 . According to a recent press release, David Crystal , author of the ''Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language'', has predicted that the change will occur in 2011, to "twenty eleven", explaining that the way people pronounce years depends on Rhythm , rather than Logic . Crystal claims that the rhythm or "flow" of "two thousand (and) ten", beats out that of "twenty ten", but the flow of "twenty eleven" beats out "two thousand (and) eleven". Alternatively, Ian Brookes, editor-in-chief of ''Chambers Dictionary'', suggests the change will occur in 2013 . The UK Times has suggested 2020 as a final timeframe for the change, saying "If people can have “twenty-twenty” vision, then surely they should also live in the year “twenty twenty”." In addition, the Vancouver Olympics , taking place in 2010, are being officially referred to by ''Vancouver 2010'' as "the ''twenty-ten'' olympics", and the London Olympics , taking place in 2012, are also being officially referred to by ''London 2012'' as "the ''twenty-twelve'' olympics". Chicago 2016 , which operates the official Chicago bid for the 2016 Games , refers to the "''twenty-sixteen'' games". PREDICTED AND SCHEDULED EVENTS January
