… when it comes to pronouncing years after 2009?

I roll with “20”. “Two-thousand and” just sounds annoyingly clunky to me. Low-key irritant, even, but everyone’s different.

That’s the best way, IMO. “Two-thousand and” just sounds so wrong.
i use whatever i feel like at the time
Probably a bit of both.
Two thousand and - usually and you’re right it does sound weird and clunky!
“Twenty twenty five” to me sounds extremely American.

According to Ella Langley it's Twanty Twanty.:joker:
Listen to the 20 20 song, it's how she sings it lol.
Edit... Just to clarify, I like hearing people's accents come through on songs, it adds character.

I agree with this.
If someone said to me two thousand and twenty five, I’d be mildly irked. I don’t even know why, but it would just grate on me. :joker:

I know we don’t see eye-to-eye all the time but I absolutely agree with you.
