How do you pronounce "2007?"?

Question

How do you pronounce "2007?"
Twenty-O-Seven or Two Thousand Seven?
Please tell me which one is correct, thank you.

Answer 1

The more correct is "two thousand seven" but to say "twenty-o-seven" isn't incorrect, but it is less formal. Very technically speaking, "two thousand and seven" is incorrect because "and" is reserved for decimals and fractions. For example, when you write a check for $123.45, you would write "one hundred twenty three and 45/100" on the line.

Answer 2

Two thousand seven is correct, though I supposed you could say twenty aught seven.

Response to elflaeda: Inserting the "and" in "two thousand seven" is technically incorrect because it denotes a) the decimal point, or b) the old-fashioned English way of speaking two-digit numbers in reverse order (e.g. two and twenty, six and eighty). Since 2007 has no number to swap with the seven other than zero, it is incorrect to insert "and." If it were 2027, it could be correctly pronounced as both "two thousand seven and twenty" and "two thousand twenty-seven."

Answer 3

Two Thousand and Seven

Answer 4

Twenty-O-Seven is good but Two Thousand Seven is better cause you really describe the number.

Answer 5

Two thousand seven.

Answer 6

'Two thousand and seven' would be the correct way to say our current year.

Don't listen to anyone above who says 'two thousand seven' is right. I'm English so I should know how to say something in English.

I live in England and am so am surrounded by English people and everyone of us inserts the 'and'.

'07 is an abbreviation and is usually only used in regards to written dates.

Answer 7

It is two thousand and seven.

Answer 8

two thousand seven

Answer 9

two thousand and seven

Answer 10

I say "Two Thousand and Seven", so neither.
