How is 3.11 pronounced?


When referring to the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear incident, is "3.11"
pronounced "San gatsu ju ichi nichi", or is there a shortened version, like
"nine one one" or "September eleven" for the terrorist attacks on September
the eleventh?




For `2.26事件` or `5.15事件`, I remember learning them to be read as "にいにいろくじけん",
"ごういちごうじけん," but I also hear people reading them as "にいてんにいろくじけん",
"ごうてんいちごうじけん." Other than these two, as far as I know, incidents written like
this seem to be read simply as if you read a number with a decimal point, like
"さんてんいちいち."
