Default Do you say “20” or “two-thousand and […]”…

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.

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.

Listen to the 20 20 song, it's how she sings it lol.
