What do you think should be the correct way of saying the year? I think it should be twenty-oh-nine. First, there was eighteen-oh-nine, then nineteen-oh-nine, and now it should be twenty-oh-nine. I think that twenty-oh-nine sounds more futuristic and cool.
What do you think? Two-thousand-nine or twenty-oh-nine?

I graduate this year so we generally shout OH NINE when showing pride and blah blah blah. So I would say its probably not that.

The correct way to say it in England is: Two Thousand Shillings, Four Tuppence and a Penny.
We use coins to denote years here, it gets annoying if you have to date your work at school because you have to glue each individual coin on the paper.

How about 0.0002009 x 10^7?

(x + 3)(y + 7), where X = 284 and Y = 0.

well, i don't think anyone is going to call it twenty nine, as the last 9 years have had the thousand styling. maybe we can home for something in 2010, but i feel like the masses and media will still refer to that as two thousand and ten. i guess the days of years that are said like "## ##" are gone after 1999.
tune back in in the year 2101, where laziness will default things back to twenty one oh one.

The only reason we called 1999 "nineteen-ninety-nine" was because "one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine" is a bit long-winded.
