<p>I can't for life of me, figure out why we haven't been doing it all along. In the 20th century, we all said nineteen hundred and nineteen O one. Why is 20 different?</p><p>PS... I blame Arthur C. Clark.</p>

2020 makes sense because you're starting to get into way too many syllables there and people, being naturally lazy, will just want to shorten it up.&nbsp; There's a chance we might speed up that process in 2011 since you're getting into one extra syllable there.&nbsp;

I said &quot;20 o six&quot; to someone last week as a goof, it just felt odd&nbsp;like I was&nbsp;in the past talking the way some old folks call world war 2 &quot;dubb-ya dubb-ya too&quot;.
