Two Thousand and Fifteen or Twenty Fifteen.

flazio · 2014-12-31 10:30:15

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?

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.

Twenty Fifteen is a bit too flash for my liking
