Topic: 2015 - how do you say it? Posted: March 12 2015 at 13:48 |
How do you pronounce the number of this year?
Obviously, those whose first language isn't English will say it in their own language - please translate what you'd say into English and vote accordingly, thankyou.

First, no one in his right mind would write 2015. It's MMXV, you barbarian.

Everyone I know here in the US says "two thousand fifteen" (aka Option 2), which is also the way we would say it in Italian.

I've been trying since twenty hundred. I first heard it on the BBC when a Radio 4 announcer referred to the year as "twenty-oh-three"

"Twenty-oh-three"? Sounds like the beginning of a nursery rhyme to me.

From 2000 thru 2009 people around here said two thousand - two thousand nine.From 2010 on they said twenty ten - twenty fifteen.
During the first decade some said oh three. oh seven, and just expected people to know what they meant.

Until I was ten, I used to say two-zero-one-five. Currently say the second.
