What do you call 2012?

Twenty twelve although occasionally I do say Two thousand and twelve! First World War! The years nineteen fourteen, nineteen eighteen.

mamie !

I say twenty-twelve or deux mille douze, depending...

Hear! Hear! ga

A much better year than 2010 or 2011 thank you.

And 2020 is when we all enjoy perfect vision

I think next year I may change. Twenty thirteen sounds good....!

Twenty, twelve and 14/18 war or WW1. There is no reason to be consistent at all and I also think 'twenty twelve' is mellifluous, as is 'mellifluous' now I think of it!

First world war.

Two thousand and twelve.

Hm.....I think I might try using Twentytwelve - see, I am always open to reasonable arguments!

WW1

Twenty twelve & Fourteen/eighteen war

'Nineteen fourteen eighteen'

Two o twelve , WW1

How would you say 'the 1914 - 18 war'?

Twenty twelve sounds mellifluous, it trips off the tongue. I think it is the repetition of the 'tw'. It's twenty twelve for me.

Twenty twelve.

Two thousand and twelve. Twenty twelve sounds odd to me!

I say twenty twelve. I was saying two thousand and... until this year, but now we're at twelve, twenty something sounds better (to me). Doesn't bother me what other people say.

I'm with you greatnan, 'twenty twelve' sounds good, but I can never bring myself to use it, not logical I know!
