I've never heard it before. I hear 3,200 pronounced as thirty-two

that nice round figure, I always hear three thousand.


I'm wondering when the switch will take place with the date. We went
from 1999 which was pronounced "nineteen ninety nine" to "the year two
thousand." Now we're at "two thousand five." But I want it to become
"twenty ten" instead of "two thouand ten."

I've heard 'twenty ten', but below that 'two thousand and five' (note
the added 'and'.

In senior moments I still find myself starting the date with 19..! Has
anyone noticed how difficult it is to write the correct date on your
birthday. - too easy to put your full date of birth!
