| Two thousand and you're a moron. Sisto For the last thousand years we've had a consensus. For at least 99% of the English speaking population, we've split what we called the year into two parts. This was primarily done for people who couldn't count past a hundred, (people like you probably) but nonetheless, the system was good and it saved us valuable time when reciting the date. For example, no one would call the year 1999 "one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine". They would call it simply "nineteen ninety nine." That saved you about five syllables and doesn't make you sound like an ass. Things were fine all the way from 1000 (ten hundred) until 1999 (nineteen ninety nine), and then BAM. Herpes. 2000 rolled along and all of a sudden people forgot how to recite dates. Not only were they calling it "two thousand" but they were also sticking "the year" in front of it. Of course it's the year 2000, moron. What else would it be? The worst part is that it wasn't just stupid people like you who did this, but everyone else except for me was doing this too! You people suck. |
