Default Two-Thousand-Nine Or Twenty-Oh-Nine?

What do you think should be the correct way of saying the year? I think it should be twenty-oh-nine. First, there was eighteen-oh-nine, then nineteen-oh-nine, and now it should be twenty-oh-nine. I think that twenty-oh-nine sounds more futuristic and cool.

What do you think? Two-thousand-nine or twenty-oh-nine?

I graduate this year so we generally shout OH NINE when showing pride and blah blah blah. So I would say its probably not that.

The correct way to say it in England is: Two Thousand Shillings, Four Tuppence and a Penny.

We use coins to denote years here, it gets annoying if you have to date your work at school because you have to glue each individual coin on the paper.

well, i don't think anyone is going to call it twenty nine, as the last 9 years have had the thousand styling. maybe we can home for something in 2010, but i feel like the masses and media will still refer to that as two thousand and ten. i guess the days of years that are said like "## ##" are gone after 1999.

tune back in in the year 2101, where laziness will default things back to twenty one oh one.

The only reason we called 1999 "nineteen-ninety-nine" was because "one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine" is a bit long-winded.
