Do you say “20” or “two-thousand and […]”…
 
… when it comes to pronouncing years after 2009?

Redway 20-08-2025 06:41 PM

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

twenty 25

but 2 thousand and 18

Mystic Mock 20-08-2025 07:53 PM

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.

Oliver_W 21-08-2025 09:13 AM

I say TwoZeroTwoFive to be annoying.

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.

Saying 20.. something would probably be easier but i always say two thousand and whatever :joker:

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.
