Default How do you pronounce...

2013 (and all the other 2010s so far)? Do you call it "twenty-thirteen" or "two thousand and thirteen"?

Yeah, I do that as well. Although it's odd how I try and replace 'o' for zero or nought so it sounds like nought five, etc. (Drew.)

yeah well shut up Nathan


nah I think I say it two thousand and thirteen because they did that with two thousand to two thousand and nine, as saying "twenty nine" doesn't convey "2009" so it's just a habit now.

Depends, both tbh. Mostly 'Two Thousand and Thirteen' though.

The only year I only consistently call 'Twenty' is 2010.

Of course it doesn't, it would be "twenty oh nine".
