Weird year poll

[houston-nat]

I like asking strange questions.

[The Chief]

The kid in me says "twenty"-whatever because it sounds futuristic.

[GburgNatsFan]

I said "the year".

[mitlen]

Twenty sixteen  ...   I was used to the double number (19 XX, etc.).     The twenty aughts messed me up.     I'm back in my year groove again.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Looks like a rigged poll.

[houston-nat]

I said "the year".

I said "the year".

Me too

but I always say "Two thousand sixteen"

[Count Walewski]

I find that I use both "twenty sixteen" and "two thousand sixteen", with a slight preference for "two thousand sixteen".

I think if I'm thinking about the present, I say two thousand sixteen. If I am thinking about history - for example comparing the 2016 election or the 2016 baseball season to past elections or past baseball seasons - then I say twenty sixteen. I guess this is because if I'm also thinking about 1992 or 1824, my mind is thinking "eighteen, nineteen, twenty..."

Did BC give you the same problem?

[Mathguy]

Did BC give you the same problem?

Only the aughts.
