How do you pronounce ∈?

Correct pronunciation of ∈.

In the first phrase ∈ seems to be pronounced as "be an element of", whereas the correct pronunciation in the second phrase is just "in". In the excellent survey How to write mathematics?, Paul Halmos writes that he prefers to read "∈" as "is in" rather than the preposition "in".
