Why does nobody verbally abbreviate the post-2000 years like they do the pre-2000 years?
I’ve noticed that in 99% of conversations I’ve had or heard, when speaking about a 2000+ year, people will always say, “twenty-twenty three” or “two thousand seventeen,” whereas they are more likely to abbreviate pre-2000 years to “eighty-seven” or “sixty four” or whatever.
