I've been thinking about this for years. A century ago the year would have been "nineteen-o-nine". It had been pronounced the same since, well since forever, up until the millenium. Then some fucker decided to call it "two-thousand". Two-thousand? Why not "twenty-hundred"?
When you refer to the 20th century you call it the "nineteen-hundreds". So how are you going to refer to this one, hmm? So yeah, and saying for example "the year two-thousand, one hundred and ninety-six" doesn't sound very promising.
The new movie "2012" should be pronounced "twenty-twelve". You know how fast that is to say? Twenty-twelveWHOOSH!you're done. Two-thousand and twelve, pshh come on.
Hi, nice to meet you, I like to exaggerate and talk about little things in my own spare time.
