In any case, you’ll have a hard time remembering it’s not 2013 anymore. It’s inevitable.

Hopeless indeed. I hope this year is better than the last one, being an even number and all.

I’d like to give a shout out to the people who spent almost 24 hours in the cold waiting for the ball in Times Square to drop, I hope the wait without a restroom in sight was worth it. May you poop to your heart’s content now that it’s over.

  1. The correct way to pronounce 2014 is Two Thousand and Fourteen. If you are a Queens English speaker. I have found that after 2009 (Two Thousand and Nine), people started to say twenty instead of Two Thousand. Is it laziness or are they abridging the word(s)?

    1. I think it has something to do with the way the 1900s were pronounced, it was easier to say “nineteen ninety nine” than “one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine.” I think it’s OK to say it either way (twenty fourteen/two thousand fourteen), but I feel like saying it with the two thousand sounds more normal than shortening it, it does sound kind of lazy.
