Two Thousand and Fifteen or Twenty Fifteen.

flazio

I keep hearing more and more people referring to a year as 'Twenty....' as opposed to 'Two Thousand and .....' which is what I still use.
So in this poll I ask you, What year is it tomorrow?

Annasopra

I didn't say 'one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine' so I won't say 'two thousand and fifteen'.

I'll say 2015.

:P

Did you go around saying nineteen thousand and ninety eight?

If you did, your a gowl, now you're trying to justify your gowliness

well exactly

however....the usage of "nineteen ninety nine" comes from a phrase like "17 hundred and 42" or whatever which was the convention for a long time

I don't think "20 hundred" would work so well!!

Is OP from the distant future?

Well I certainly don't remember "Twenty Hundred", "Twenty oh One" "Twenty oh Two" being in popular use.

Professional futurologists such as the renowned Zager and Evans tend to use the latter system.

Go and stand in the stupid corner with Noonan.

Or alternatively, you could apply to be our next finance minister.

Twenty Fifteen

Two thousand and fifteen sounds more impressive, an achievement if you will in comparison to the peasant terminology.

Tarzana2

Twenty Fifteen

Two thousand and fifteen.

Either is good though, I don't consider either wrong. I don't care if it was nineteen-oh-one or nineteen-ten. This is now, things change, a century is a long ol' time.

So either is correct to me, I just seem to say the first poll option.

2 words or 4 words?
Anybody who still uses long version probably doesn't have to say it very often. The hundreds or so times a day my job makes me say it, I'm goin for the half the time and effort option.

Or occasionally the elusive 3 word option: two thousand twelve.

Anything as long as it's not two fifteen - Michael Noonan please note!

Same - I'm constantly saying 2014 or 2015 in work, definitely not gonna recite the long version every time. Actually now that I think about it, most of the time I just say "fourteen" or "fifteen" - in the context of my job (accounts), whoever I'm talking to will know what I'm talking about anyways.

VinLieger

Its Twenty Fifteen and has been since Twenty Ten, anyone who says it the other way is a dinosaur

FunLover18

They're both correct just one is longer. Those saying Two Fifteen however can fúck rightly off, I don't care if it's ironic. There's a zero in there you numpties, we're not living in 215.

If your name is Micheal Noonan then it probably is lol. He seems to live a thosand years behind the rest of us. Its not that hard really to say twenty fifteen now is it. Maybe he just does not like using twenty for some reason lol.

No Atari jaguar? OP should be banned.

People saying two thousand and ... is one of my pet hates.Everyone over age 14 will say they were born in Ninteen whenever.We say the famine began in Eighteen forty five.We say the Ulster Plantation was Sixteen ninety.We say that Colombus sailed the ocean blue in Forteen ninety two.We say the battle of Hastings was in Ten sixty six.

In 2001,people should have been encouraged to say Twenty oh one.I only ever heard it being said once on telly during the first ten years of this century.

I also see that on UTV Ireland station they keep saying two thousand and fifteen in their previews. RRRRR.
