Saying "2024" as "twenty twenty four". We said "Two thousand and X" for a decade until people started saying "Twenty X" because it sounds "cooler" to some people. Since most people are mindless robots, they picked up also saying "Twenty" instead of "Two thousand", simply because they heard it repeated enough times. There is no logical reason for this sudden change, and anytime I hear "Twenty" (virtually every single time someone pronounces the year), I am slightly irritated and correct it to "Two thousand" in my head. I understand for previous centuries such as 1990, we say "Nineteen nintey" instead of "Nineteen thousand", I suspect since the former is quicker to say. However, we pronounce all digits with exception of years as thousands rather than broken up variables of numbers, which make no sense. Logically, we should pronounce years as we pronounce numbers, since years are numbers. Logically it makes more sense, but people opt for whatever seems easier to say, since humans are flawed.

This is easily the most autistic thing I've read in my life, and not the high-IQ kind of autistic.

19000 and 1900 are different numbers!

this is like expecting people in the 1900s to say "one thousand and nine hundred x".

twenty x was adopted because it's a syllable shorter, and people immediately recognize it as a year.
