Subject: "Two Thousand Fifteen" or "Twenty Fifteen"?

Written By: TallGrass on 10/14/14 at 6:17 pm

Which pronunciation do you prefer?

The second is simpler but both pronounciations are good.

I think Twenty is slowly and surely taking over.

In English, I use the second one, however, in German, I use the first one (zweitausendfünfzehn).

I say "twenty" and have done so for the past few years.  "Two thousand" seems so redundant now.

Fun fact: in Japanese, it is common to say the actual number for every year.  So 2015 is "two thousand fifteen" and 1995 is "one thousand nine hundred ninety five".  Not even joking.

Sometimes I say "Twenty", and other times I say "Two thousand".

Twenty Fifteen makes more sense. It's easier.

However it's pronounced, it won't matter because I doubt it will be as big a year as 2014 has been thus far.

If anything, we'll start to see some changes in the fall that bring us closer to what 2017 will be like. I think 2015 will be most like 1994 in a way. '94 was the most 90s-est year of the 1990s. I believe the spring of '15 will be nothing other than a shadow of 2014. The new shows of 2015 will probably be around for the rest of the decade into the next one or at least until sometime in 2018. I'm pretty sure that new show Blackish will seep into the 2020s, though it won't be as good as it was in the beginning. To this generation, Blackish is their Cosby Show, so I can see it staying around for sometime.

Unfortunately, I doubt 2015 will look like this:

Though I do expect to see more skateboarders and bicyclists on the sidewalk in 2015.

More skateboarders on the sidewalk? What would 2015 have to do with that? There will always be skaters and bicyclists. What is that picture from anyway?

I have been know to use both "two thousand fifteen" or "twenty fifteen." It all depends on which one comes out of my mouth first.  :D ;D ;D ;D

So far, 2015 looks to be a year of sequels. The Avengers, Minions, Kung-Fu Panda, Katniss, Terminator, Ted and Magic Mike are all returning. '15 doesn't look to be any different from the four years before it; the 90s nostalgia isn't coming to an end any time sooner. There will be a new Tomb Raider, another Jurassic Park film (Jurassic World) and the 90s grunge look could be coming back (ewww).

I'm looking forward to 2017. 2015 will just be a step towards '17 in the same '91 and '92 were to 1993.

I've always favored saying "twenty" because I never liked how we went from saying "nineteen" to "two thousand". I've even noticed on the news they retroactively pronounce years in the '00s as "twenty oh four," "twenty oh eight," etc.

Twenty-fifteen, mostly. The other way is such a mouthful, but I may sometimes catch myself saying it once and a while. The 20-15 is the more logical way to say it because we can out of the 19-00s.

"Twenty fifteen" seems to be taking over, finally. I'd say up to 2013 or so "two thousand___" was the most common way of saying the year, but over the past couple years the tide has finally began turning.
