Some of you may remember my ill fated attempt to get everyone to call the year 2000 and anything after it, the double O's. Well, it didn't catch on, but apparently, I wasn't the only one who was saying it wrong.Check it out...
"The year is just three days old and already are some people bickering over the way to pronounce 2010.
Say the year '1810' out loud. Now say the year '1999' out loud. See a pattern? It's been easier, faster, and shorter to say years this way for every decade (except for the one that just ended) instead of saying the number the long way.
However, many people are carrying the way they said years from last decade over to this decade as a bad habit. If we don't fix this now, we'll be stuck saying years the long way for the next 89 years. Don't let that happen!"
