# Assignment 11: BBC message board

We visited a useful and well known famous news website to learn english.
I think it is quite interesting!

The question I have raised is
"When we see 2009 we might say "two thousand nine" but some people might say "twenty O nine." Are both of these ways correct? And if yes, is one of them more formal or not?Are there other ways to pronounce the years?Thanks in advance."

And after a while, I get a answer.
"There is no rule on this. They are both equally correct. Both may be used in a formal context. These are the only two ways to pronounce this year. "
