1	alexbook Sun 5/11/2008 3:21p	How do you pronounce the current year? A. "Two-thousand-and-eight." B. "Two-thousand-eight." C. "Twenty-oh-eight." My choice is B. (I got to thinking about this after I heard somebody on the radio say C.)
2	smedley Sun 5/11/2008 3:25p	A. for me
3	mele Sun 5/11/2008 3:27p	B.
4	iamsally Sun 5/11/2008 3:40p	I put the and in as in A. I think it is because that is how my parents said it.
5	x Pirate_Princess x Sun 5/11/2008 3:46p	Two thousand eight. In math, the "and" means a decimal point. So, two thousand and eight would be 2000.8
6	friendofdd Sun 5/11/2008 3:50p	I usually say oh eight. Sometimes two thousand eight.
7	mawnck Sun 5/11/2008 5:02p	In the immortal words of ET .... "B".
8	WDWdreamin Sun 5/11/2008 5:13p	B (my roommate is for B too)
9	Mrs ElderP Sun 5/11/2008 7:03p	b or more usually oh-eight
10	8 ilovemickey 8 Sun 5/11/2008 7:05p	Sorry xPPx I just had to point this out because I just had this same arguement with my Grandma who has her masters in math... And can also mean to add so technically speaking it is not incorrect but it does usually signify a decimal point. My grandma finally conceded that I was right that you could use it both ways haha.
