"Two-thousand eighteen"

[Mando Pandango]

I don't care about Google trends, that's a holdover from the 2000s where nobody knew what to call anything

[Kalahari Inkantation]

that particular query is fixed within the past 12 months specifically to filter out that noise lol

[Mando Pandango]

I'm not saying that data is held over, I'm saying people's habits are. People just started saying "two thousand and ten" without thinking about it and kept doing it. That's why anyone does it.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

sure i don't disagree with that lol, but that only lends to my argument that two thousand eighteen is already familiar for a number of reasons

[Mando Pandango]

But it's dumb

[Kalahari Inkantation]

but the name is already consistent with the way we count, and it's already customary thanks to more than a decade of precedent

it may be dumb, but once again it is familiar and old habits die hard

So we're in agreement. The difference is I hate it

i really don't think it sounds all that strange lol

i'll catch up with you guys and start saying 'twenty - [x]' in 2020, but right now i'm still way back in 2018

It's probably the 2001-2009 years that brought that back

Oh it definitely is, because saying twenty oh-five is awkward. That's why I said it was fine up until 2010, to give people a year to change.

this is a good point though, hopefully 2020 is a good opportunity for everyone to fix this error
