Actually, can't we just start saying '10, '11, etc like when we used to say '82 and '94?

Twenny One-o.

Well, you can't start that until '20.

Two thousand.

Two thousand.

Didn't you read the blog? It addresses this very thing.

twenty stars for you Abu.

Ah, but wait until the dreaded 2020's:

Twenty-twenty-one

Twenty-twenty-two...

Try saying that fast.

We should have said Twenty-oh-nine? Or Twenty-nine?

' When people ask you what was the year of confederation, do you say "one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven?" No, because you didn't pay attention in school and you have no idea. But if you did know, you'd just say "eighteen sixty-seven." '

Best line, by far. Something I realized, though - a lot of people accidentally say "two-ten" when they're trying to say "twenty-ten," most likely because they're used to saying "two-thousand and nine." Oh, well - one will only have to get used to it, I guess.

Well, you can't start that until '20.

What page - subsection - paragraph of the rulebook is that on?

It's about 5 lines down from the one about saying "two thousand."

I have no problem with moving to 'twenty', but saying two thousand isn't quite like saying one thousand nine hundred, we currently don't have a hundred to worry about in the year.

I say "Two double-aught and nine"...

I know personally, I catch myself saying both "two-thousand twelve" and "twenty-twelve" at times. People will say what they want, but I see the OP's point....sorta. It's really not a big deal, this is a new day and age and if people want to say it a different way than it's been done before, they will do just that.
