Or two thousand and twelve? How are we saying it? I've heard a few twenty twelves on the radio and TV already today.
Twenty twelve sounds quite snappy, it's quicker to say. Americans have been saying it for some time, it just seems to be Britain where we insist on saying two thousand. I think I'm going with twenty twelve. After all last century we always used to say nineteen instead of one thousand nine hundred and ninety seven and so on.
Although in Germany they used to say that, neunzehn hundert sieben und neunzig.That's a mouthful. I wonder what they're saying for 2012. What are the French doing?
Forget that, it's twenty twelve for me. And if I seem to be the only one saying it and therefore sound a bit of an idiot I'll quietly revert to two thousand and twelve.
Happy New Year.
