How do you say WWII?

look at this ****, another idiot who thinks she is better than me because she is the teacher :xGazaAli

It happens sometimes. It happened to me too. I let it go. It's not worth it getting on their s*** list.

At some point your teacher was probably reprimanded herself for calling Henry the Eighth 'The Eight Henry', resulting her incorrect assumption about WWII. Unfortunately this rule does not apply to all things that have a VIII attached, or a II or two in this case. As has been covered in this thread already, the correct terms are:

WWII - World War Two or the Second World War

Henry II - King Henry the Second.

Try not to berate her too much for her mistakes - nobody's perfect - and politely pointing out that you're right is so much more satisfying than stooping to her level and being petty about it :P

This is somehow frustrating and depressing. I learned English by myself since I was young. Just because some people are in the position of being teacher and instructor does not make them automatically better than me at English. I mean I swear I can teach this supposed to be highly qualified teacher a lesson or two.GazaAli

World War Two or The Second World War.

I have never heard it called World War the Second. Sounds like a bad translation or something.

First there was World War..........

Then came, World War II....

This summer, brought to you from the flaming pits of terrorists everywhere comes....

WORLD WAR III

Is it World war two, or world war the second?

I say this because today I said "World war two" and the teacher told me "not like this, its world war the second".

GazaAli

sometimes the 2nd world war or world war 2. most pf the time I saw WW2

WWII...world war two?

..yeah it didn't happen. Its a hoax.

"dubya dubya two"

Two. I've never heard "the second".

Edit - I mean "World War the Second", though I have heard "The Second World War".

Your teacher's an idiot.

I say world war two..

its world war 2

the only other possible way I can think to say it,

is the second world war.

The Second World War.

I've never heard anyone pronounce it "world war the second". The official name for it is World War 2. Tell your teacher some random 22-year-old from Cleveland disagrees with how she/he pronounces that.
