A little bugbear of mine is the way people have been saying the year. For 100 years we said nineteen ...... but come the new millennium it suddenly went to being two thousand. Even last year was two thousand and nineteen rather than twenty nineteen.
At last, in the year twenty twenty people are saying just that rather than two thousand and twenty.
Now, I've a football match to attend.

I’ve been using your preferred version since twenty ten at least. It just felt a bit awkward with single digit years.
