Things I Hate, Part 3

[pointnopoint]

I hate it when people verablly abbreviate 2010 as "Oh-Ten."

I understand "Oh-Nine" for 09', as there is a zero in front of the nine. There is no zero in front of the number 10'.

Argh.

Look at the year again. There clearly is a 0 in front of the 10.

BUT IT BREAKS THE PATTERN! TOO MANY SYLLABLES! AHHHHHHH!!!

My point 77south, is that when you are verbally abbreviating 2009, you do not say "0h Oh nine" or "0-0-9." There is also clearly a zero in front of the 09 here, but no one pronounces it.

So why then, would they pronounce the zero in front of the 10?

YES! We name our software versions by the release year so people have been saying oh-ten or oh-eleven for the next one. Annoying!

there is only one true way to write or say years. USE EVERY DAMN NUMERAL. HOW LAZY ARE YOU PEOPLE?
