- mywacaday 4y agoI noticed that when i put in the following text from the BBC as a test and it pronounces 2008 as "two thousand eight" but I believe most people would pronounce it as "two thousand and eight" Great work A billionaire's son, who fled to Yemen within hours of the death of a student in London 15 years ago, has admitted his involvement to the BBC. The body of Martine Vik Magnussen, 23, was discovered under rubble in a Great Portland Street basement in 2008. Farouk Abdulhak, who is on the Met Police's most wanted list and is the subject of an international arrest warrant, has never spoken about the case before.
- the88doctor 4y agoI would definitely just say "two thousand eight"
- ljlolel 4y agoPretty sure I would say two thousand eight?
- iamthemonster 4y agoTwo thousand eight = American English Two thousand and eight = UK and Australian English
- mywacaday 4y agoI'm based in Europe and a native English speaker, I thought I was aware of most of the differences between UK/US English. I can't believe I have worked with Americans for decades and never noticed this. Live and learn!
- JohnFen 4y agoI'm an American, and both methods sound right to my ears. I hear both variations quite a lot from the people around me. I assume it depends on what part of the US you're from.
- jnwatson 4y agoAmerican English traditionally uses an “and” to separate the whole from the fraction, e.g. two thousand eight and two thirds.
