Happy New Year

What will probably end up happening is people will continue to say the year wrong until the year 2020. Then everyone will suddenly be correct again. Ugh, 20 years of this annoying shit. Just gotta hang on another 8 years and I won't have to hear it anymore.

I'll do what I always do. Sigh to myself and feel bad about it for a bit, before moving on. I'd like to say that I can completely ignore that stuff, but I can't help it. I notice it.

How can people possibly be wrong in that regard, Izzy? There are no rules for how to pronounce the years. Hell, using your logic I should be flustered when people refer to first decade years as 'oh-one', 'oh-two', instead of 'ought-one, or 'ought-two' which was the common parlance back in the early 20th century.

Please tell me that you do not actually, in reality, bother people with that?

I use twenty-ten and two-thousand-ten interchangeably. Like I said, there is no actual rule for it. If you are going around telling people they are wrong you are doing so with no justification.

At least I'm consistent. If you want to say two thousand ten, you should also say one thousand nine hundred ten. It is weird to change how you say years like that.

When they are regular numbers, we say them one way, and when they are years, we say them another. It's a good system that we used until the year 2000.

Happy new year.

I think it's a good year so far, but I'm kind of annoyed gamestop took the shrink wrap off it.

@ Inazuma

You are mistaken. People did not say 'one thousand nine hundred and ninety four' because of the sheer number of syllables, not out of deference to some imagined English rule. You are just nitpicking people for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

@DinnerX

It was the last year in the store; They had to give you the display case.

Twenty-Twelve, Two-Thousand-Twelve, all just way too complicated.
Keep it simple, stick with 0b11111011100.
