How do you refer to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks?
Inspired by a letter to the editor I read in this morning's paper:

Not so much a political discussion so much as one whether referring to an event in shorthand form diminishes its significance. Thoughts?

One consequence of our modern society and its conveniences is that it allows people plenty of time to get their panties in a bunch over stuff like this.
So what should we call WWII? "The second major world war in which the United States fought alongside Great Britan and others against... etc... etc..." |

Good point, beachbum. Before WWII, WWI was usually called "the great war" or "the war to end all wars."

The Pear Harbor attack was at one place. Should September 11 be called the "World Trade Center in New York City, Pentagon in Arlington, and that other plane whose passengers took control over and ditched it into a field in PA instead of who knows where in DC attacks"?

It bugs me when people say "9-11" or "9-1-1" because that not even how anyone refers to dates.
"My birthday is three twelve." |

I generally don't refer to it at all. When the rare need arises, I call it September 11th. no need to specify the year...

I work at the gov't agency who is studying the fire that led to the towers' collapse (yes... still studying it..) and for expediancy we call it nine-'leven. it's fastest to say. when you study a thing day in and day out for for 2 years, it reaches a point where you no longer solomly remove your cap and have a moment of respectful silence every time it's mentioned, you know? pretty much have to just treat it as another 'incident' though that's hard when you're reading the interviews of people who made it out
