I grew up in the 90s and I remember being able to truncate the year down to just 2 numbers when talking about years within the current millennium. It seems like we’re still saying twenty before every year and I’m just wondering when that will change.


Did you say “aught one”?
“Oh 1” in British English
Nolla-yks in my language
Oh, cool! I enjoyed saying “aught” because it’s an archaic word for zero, so I felt like an old-timer whenever I said it.
